CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Review

CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 Review


Computer Associates came with their latest and better edition of CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 to propose a step forward in quality and features. Besides firewall, antivirus, antispyware, antispam, and parental control, the suite now contains data migration and a Web site inspector to identify malicious sites.


One thing you should be aware of is that, at install, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 offers to set up the Yahoo! toolbar and make Yahoo! your default search engine which together with CA’s own Web site Inspector causes your browser to be kind of top-heavy.



The present firewall is obviously much better than what CA presented last year when it swapped from ZoneAlarm's one to its Tiny Personal Firewall but improvement is still to be had.
According to PCMAG, CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 passed most of the port-scanning tests but failed the Gibson Research's ShieldsUp (CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 leaving from two to four less-used ports closed but not stealthed ). Opposite to using NIS 2008 or Panda Internet Security 2008’s modern styles of program control, the CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 user has to decide every time a program attempts to connect to the Internet whether to permit it.

Though it did not survive to fake mouse-clicks attack as Kaspersky and Norton products did, CA's new version security system still showed high protective measures. The firewall offers a wide range of additional features -- it can guard against malicious attachments from incoming e-mail and watch outgoing mail for behaviors, it can also block cookies, ads and script, having the ability to prevent the sending of predefined personal data in e-mail or over the Web.


As PCMAG described it, using client-side attacks from the Core Impact penetration testing utility proved itself worthy in revealing some of CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2008 vulnerabilities in the suite's protection system which recommends Norton Internet Security 2008 as a better candidate to your security needs.

PC Tools announces the launch of the latest release of multi-award winning Spyware Doctor, Version 5.5.


PC Tools announces the launch of the latest release of multi-award winning PC Tools Spyware Doctor®, Version 5.5.


Building on the success of PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5, version 5.5 has been upgraded to provide minimal impact to computer performance and user friendly functionality.


New features include enhanced rootkit detection and removal, enhanced real-time protection at the kernel level, reduced memory usage, network guard enhancements and automated threat evaluation.


“PC Tools has recognised the inability of most anti-spyware products to provide consumers with an advanced, yet user friendly offering that provides superior protection and reduces both user interaction and memory usage,” said Simon Clausen, Chief Executive Officer, PC Tools. “We are confident that the latest release of PC Tools Spyware Doctor meets these objectives and continues to be the most advanced product on the market” said Clausen.


Consistently awarded Editor’s Choice awards by leading PC Magazines and testing laboratories worldwide and downloaded by over a hundred million users globally, PC Tools Spyware Doctor continues to detect, remove and block all types of malware including spyware, adware, spyware Trojans, rootkits, keyloggers and a variety of other security related risks. OnGuard real-time protection also protects the user from malicious phishing websites.


PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 provides

Enhanced Rootkit Removal - PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 now has upgraded rootkit removal techniques that reduce the number of system reboots previously required to remove some of the most difficult rootkits.


Improved Real - time Kernel Level Protection - unlike previous versions, the OnGuard real-time protection in PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 can now make decisions on threats earlier, at the kernel level, to help improve performance.


Reduced Memory Usage - the overall memory usage and footprint for PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 has been reduced to ensure minimal impact to computer performance.


Network Guard Enhancement - Network Guard has been upgraded to include additional protection against new threats that attack network registry settings, thus preventing them from interfering with your Internet connection.


Intelli-risk Rating - in previous versions of PC Tools Spyware Doctor unnecessary warnings may have occurred with inactive traces of threats rated as high risk. Now in PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5, the intelli-risk rating system ranks threats by rating inactive traces of threats detected according to the actual risk posed.


Automated Threat Evaluation – PC Tools Spyware Doctor 5.5 now incorporates automatic threat evaluation, providing standardised descriptions that allow easy differentiation and understand detected threats.
