Seriously, who the hell would want to use CA antivirus? And what's worse, you have to enter credit card so after 6 months are gone, you keep on paying their rubbish AV. Stay away ppl.

Installing CA will be worse than being infected by 99% of the malware out there. BTW- is CA now developed by a different company?

If they actually paid me to use this I would refuse. There was a time some years ago when it was a fairly acceptable product. Like when Bill Clinton was in his first term as President. Boy am I showing my age...

I've never had a good experience with CA. Their products always seem buggy and very difficult to uninstall. I've not liked CA all the way back to when they bought out Tiny Personal Firewall. After their purchase of the company CA froze all updates and help for TPF. Once the licenses expired CA began to integrate it into their CA security suite. That move was doomed from the beginning. All that was going on about the same time some CA execs were sent to prison. They changed their name to CA for a reason. I am not certain but I believe at one point they moved their corporate headquarters (to India?) because of legal problems in the US.

The 10-count indictment, returned last Friday by a federal grand jury in Brooklyn, New York and unsealed today, charges Sanjay Kumar, the former Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA), and Stephen Richards, CA’s former Head of Worldwide Sales, with securities fraud conspiracy, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Richards was also charged with one count of perjury, and Kumar was also charged with one count of making false statements to law enforcement officers....

In addition, Stephen Woghin, CA’s former General Counsel and Senior Vice President, pleaded guilty this morning to securities fraud conspiracy and obstruction of justice charges for his role in the fraudulent scheme. Woghin entered his plea before U.S. District Judge I. Leo Glasser at the U.S. Courthouse in Brooklyn....


[Ira] Zar and three other individuals - David Kaplan, former Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration; David Rivard, former Vice President of Finance; and Lloyd Silverstein, former Divisional Senior Vice President in Charge of the Global Sales Organization - have previously pleaded guilty to charges arising out of the CA investigation.

I've been running beta and 'GM' of TD8 since the testing period began. (9 days to go).

TD7 was truly horrible. TD8 retains the cryptic UI but is amazingly now largely bug free, i.e. they've fixed nearly every one of my criticisms

However, if the only trial is by way of a money back guarantee after you've signed up, your money will probably be better spent elsewhere.
