Had to reformat computer [Posted on 2007-09-06]
I installed this software, and immediately I was unable to use Outlook, see most websites, or use Yahoo email. I was unable to uninstall it.

I took my computer to my tech support guru, and he was unable to uninstall the CA Security, so in the end, after three days of screwing aroud with it, he had to completely reinstall Windows, and reload all of my other software.

I didn't like CA Security Suite.

Nothing but problems!!! [Posted on 2007-09-17]
I bought this software (with the rebate that I never recieve) because I had heard good things about it from someone I trusted to know about security software. The flash drive installation seems like a good idea but the software has rendered the computer (3 months old) very frustrating to use. I tried to contact CA support and have never gotten a response from them. I would not recomend this product to anyone!

Just worthless [Posted on 2007-10-19]
I just bought a new dell desktop with Vista and it is conflicting with explorer 7.0 which comes with windows Vista. It is nothing but a problem.
I finally had to get the security software from Verizon DSL and completely deleted this one from my new computer.

Great flash drive, mediocre software [Posted on 2007-11-26]
I am very impressed with the flash drive that came with this software package. After testing its performance, it is found to have a blazing read speed of 31 MB/s and a decent write speed of 5 MB/s. Compared to the many cheap standalone flash drives on the market, the read speed is probably 4-6 times faster and the write speed is about the same. The miniscule size of the drive makes it perfect for a keyring. The tiny drive is inside a credit card sized sleeve that you see in the box.

The software interface is not very attractive. There are a lot of features which do not seem necessary and it installed a difficult-to-remove CA browser toolbar which impedes surfing speed and ease. Without a virus-laden computer to test it on I cannot comment on its performance. The program uses an acceptable amount of memory and does not seem to slow down the computer. Users of older machines may only achieve normal performance after turning off optional program features.

I definitely would not suggest buying this software at retail price, but rather watch for the frequent rebates on this and other CA products. The flash drive is certainly the redeeming quality of this product and is definitely worth keeping for general use.

How about Minus Zero!!!! [Posted on 2008-02-19]
The only good thing about this (C)rap is that I got rebate cash for my gift card! Firstly, it slowed my computer to a halt, crashed it while accessing websites and the list just goes on. HERES THE LESSON- Never buy any of this garbage or like Norton Symantic without a full rebate! If you get stuck, your just out postage like in this case and with Norton Systemsworks.
