[Ham-Computers] Firewall & AntiVirus Packages

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Group,

We currently use Norton Internet Security on the three machines on our LAN.  
But all three copies are soon to have to be renewed ($$).  And two of them are 
2003, which is no longer supported on their Help system, so it's do without 
if needed or more ($$$).  Our cable internet provider (RoadRunner) offers a 
package that I guess you could say we've already paid for or are paying for so it 
doesn't necessarily fall under the "you usually get what you paid for" clause 
of Murphey's Law.  

The package is eTrust EZArmor by Computer Associates, which is also 
commercially available.  Does anyone have any actual experience with it (RoadRunner or 
otherwise), especially as compared to Norton?

I'll add that I have installed the package once.  My Father-In-Law recently 
got RoadRunner.  He had no firewall at all, and his copy of NAV was so old it 
dated to before they started using the year as the version number.  So on the 
basis of anything is better than nothing, I installed EZArmor on his machine.  
But I didn't get much time to play with it as they live in San Antonio and we 
came home the next day.
