    a very good suite ;) tested and work very nice with xp sp2 (4 process and about 15mb in memory )

    antivirus ( i think kaspersky engine 5 ) + antispyware +proactive detection ( i think by sana )+ firewall + teneup+ backup+ popup bloker+script blocker+ etc

    ps : not compatible with other antivirus like avast and avira

    I'm guessing the antivirus is Authentium. I didn't do any search to see who this is.

    In the knowledge base, I found this entry, in case you needed to reinstall the antivirus engine. This is the 3rd step.

    A list of programs will appear. Select any entry containing Authentium and click Remove.

    Overall, from what I read, it sounds like a pretty good setup, very similar to Sana Security. I'm thinking of ditching my security programs on my desktop and giving it a run.

    This is called a beta program but is mentioned in a couple of places as an upgrade. Plus, skimming the license agreement doesn't mention a time limit, or anything about it shutting down at the end of the beta test period. I checked their forum, but it's virtually empty of posts right now.

    I've been doing some snooping. Can't resist trying something new, since I have an extra computer to play with now. I've seen some complaints that it "appears" on a computer without warning. All those people who've made the complaints though are with ISP's who use Radialpoint - Comcast, Verizon, Windstream, among many others. Radialpoint is a Canadian company, one of the top 50 in Canada.

    Looks like I've got some entertainment for later in the evening - after GhostHunters.

    *edit* I did see mention of a 365 day limit, but this was on Version 6. From what I gather, the current is Version 8. No info on a cutoff that I've found.

    We do some ghost hunting. The wife has some really spooky pictures she got while we were at an old house near here, and at the little town cemetery. I've never seen a thing but, hey, it's fun.

    My wife and I saw a couple of the Chucy movies. We laughed all the way through them.

    I downloaded this program, by the way. Very light on my XP Pro sp2 computer, 512RAM and 1.8 Athlon. So far, in the few hours, no complaints. I haven't really gotten into the program, but it doesn't look like it gives many options for configuration. That kind of figures since it's one of those things an ISP will give to a customer or, in our case with Windstream make you pay for it.

    That's about all I can say right now. The AV is in fact Kaspersky, not Authentium, which is a big plus in my book. Sana's Safe Connect handles the antispyware and other things. Not sure about the firewall.

    Fairly decent package, from what I've seen. Also, no information on whether it times out after the beta. This is Beta 1. I'm sure there will be more following.

    *EDIT* Okay, the firewall, like the av is Kaspersky. The antivirus, by hovering the pointer over things says file version 5.0 and AntiHacker says file version 6. Both have 2008 dates with them.

    If this is the same RadialPoint I am thinking of, they are a Managed Security Services Provider. This security suite powers the managed (free) security offerings you see from a majority of the ISPs.
