    Comcast is my ISP and it offers McAfee VS and firewall free to its customers. I've used it, and there's nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. I just keep trying others to see what's out there. The grass is always greener you know. ;) :) I'm getting closer to sticking with McAfee though.

    I agree. My thoughts exactly. ;)

    On my machine - pc 1. I have same set up as Graystoke. For free it provides good all around protection. Please note the low horse power of this machine and I notice almost no slow downs. Also note that i do not have anything else in the real time security department pulling on these few horses.

    And finally yes the install as was stated made me think something went wrong and it was hung but it was not...yes like giving birth... my wife took 14 hours with one of my children. :D

    Some good honest posts just based on my experience imho. :thumb:

    I find it very strange. especially as it's probably aimed at people who would rather 'set and forget' yet on default settings the inbound firewall protection is worse than Windows Firewall !
