I jux receive a security update cd from M$
and in it ... it include a eTrust EZ Armor Suite CD. I never heard of Ez Armor b4, so here am asking if anybody have experience good or bad w/ it and is it a good antivirus/firewall software? Any comment(s) is greatly appreciated. Thanks

P.S.

I have Norton 2k4 anti-virus and Sygate personal pro firewall... and how does ez armor compare to the one that I have?

I also got that same set of update CDs, was wondering the same thing. I think it's just a promotional thing for eTrust.

eTrust is the ex-maker of InnoculateIT. It was a good antivirus app, so I'd be willing to suggest you try the CD you got. From what I know, the software's high-quality.

I did a search earli about ez armor reviews and read about the firewall part that it was retapped from Zone Alarm and I've heard that ZA is not a good choice for a firewall as about the antivirus I have heard some good and some bad... so I do need more inputs from you guyz... It is so tempting to try it out rite now...

Thanks

That's the case with everything, your never going to get a prefect product. There's always something wrong with it in someone's eyes, not to mention all the combinations of hardware it has to run on.

CAI's InnoculateIT/InnocuLAN used to be big in the corporate antivirus world. When you had a main server download definitions, and hand those out to all clients.

I used to use them often back a few years ago, but they've started declining in popularity, Symantecs Corp Edition, and McAfee's Orchestrator, taking over in popularity. I even used to use it myself at home, since they used to have a free version for home users, Innoculate PE or something like that. Was a free download for single workstation installs.

CAI's was one of the first to outsource their support to India a few years ago, I've suffered through it several times for their ARCServer backup software support, and once 2 years ago for their Innoculan when a top lawfirm in my area lost their server and a few workstations to a virus outbreak, another consultant did a poor job in the server and antivirus setup, they got hit hard. Rebuilt the server to get them going again for the week, ordered a new server because this one was rather outdated and had a bum hard drive, replaced Innoculan with Symantecs CE when I put the new server in a couple of weeks later, problem free!

I heard the MS update CD was coming with a firewall and antivirus, I was really surprised/disappointed to see CAI's product, I was expecting Avast or NOD32.

I have a friend who's a programmer for CAI to, down in Long Island NY, it's just...I don't like their product anymore.

It's not that I don't want to try it ... but I jux want to see input from othesr that has experience w/ it first.. if I have more good respond then I will likely to try it... but if I have all negative, of course I don't want all the junks in my registry, program files ...etc in my lappy.
