Strengths: The only positive point I can say about this product is ease of install. Other than that I have had only problems with this software.
Weaknesses:After install my computer seemed to have slowed down a lot. I found the firewall to block many of the common programs. The software seems to phone home every so often.
Overall Evaluation: I have been using Norton products for a while and decidied to give this CA product a try. I regret my decision. My experience with this suite has been terrible. I might have used it for 2 days at most before I uninstalled it and went back to my Norton Internet Security. I wouldn?t recommend this product.

Strengths: Easy install and good security level. Anti-Virus and Parental Controls are top notch
Weaknesses:Slow down your system
Overall Evaluation: The Firewall part of the program slowed my laptop down to a crawl. Adding more memory did not help. I'm running 2 gig of memory, and very few programs on my laptop. I uninstall the Firewall portion of the program and the laptop picked up speed again. This program is "Quirky", and takes patience. It also freezes up at times. Personal thoughts on this program so far is, " the firewall doesn't work good for me, slows the computer down drastically. Went back to my old firewall, but used the rest of the CA Program.

Strengths: none
Weaknesses:strongly not recommended
Overall Evaluation: This CA software is very very bad. It shut down my computer after the installation. So I had to reboot my comuter and tried to remove the software. And I continued to have trouble removing it since somehow it was stuck in my computer forever. I had to ask help for the software removal. Very bad experience.

Strengths: none
Weaknesses:low performance
Overall Evaluation: It looks like that CA softwares never got improved. It is still a bloat ware upon your installation. The computer worked very slowly due to the presence of this software. It still works but it is not as good as I expected.

Strengths: Lean and effective internet security suite.
Weaknesses:No automated system clean up and disk optimization.
Overall Evaluation: CA adds the back up and PC data transfer features into the CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 by bundling CA Desktop DNA Migrator at no additional cost. Its internet security package is simple to use but still very effective. The important thing I found about an internet security suite is how quick and efficient it uses your system resources while keeping your PC from being attacked by virus, spyware, spam, phishing, hackers and identity thefts. CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 performs well in this area since it is leaner than many other competitors? package. I only wish that it could do a little bit more to automatically remove unneeded files, clean up Windows registry, and defrag the hard drives to optimize Windows system performance periodically as offered in MS Live OnceCare package.
