Our local cable Internet provider, Bresnan, starting sending out notices about their new security suite from Computer Associates. Computer Associates is one of the older technology companies and produces great software, and I haven’t seen the product yet, but based on the description in the email, I wouldn’t jump on board.
As with most suites, they are usually too big, too slow, and don’t protect you well enough. As of today, I recommend the Castellini on Computers Hybrid Security Suite:
1. AVG Anti-virus
2. Windows Defender
3. A router for your high speed connection
4. Windows Firewall
5. Monthly updates and scans with SypBot Search and Destroy and/or Super AntiSpyware
6. Cloudmark Desktop anti-spam
7. MOST IMPORTANT: ONLY browse the Internet with Mozilla Firefox
Links to all of these programs can be found in our Links and Resources section of the site.
I was on line with Nicole from Bresnan.com/security. My computer has a virus (Security) and she was helping me but I had to shut my computer down as part of the instructions – now I can’t get back to her. I have a dental appt so am going to shut my computer down and will try again when I get back.
Any help to getting back to her?
