CA eTrust Internet Security Suite 2007 ver. 3.2.0.1

eTrust Internet Security Suite by CA (formerly Computer Associates) combines average antivirus and antispyware protection with Zone Labs' outstanding firewall, all behind an interface that isn't as well integrated as those of most other security suites we've tested. On the bright side: eTrust Internet Security has an excellent firewall (provided by Zone Labs) and solid adware detection. It also ranked first in our system disinfection tests, cleaning up the files, Registry changes, and Hosts-file modifications made by nine out of ten worms. (The one worm it could not clean was Lovegate.AI.) Its scan speed nearly matched the median speed of the ten products we tested, and its drag on system resources was insignificant.
eTrust Internet Security has a good feature set with privacy settings and parental controls, as well as antifraud tools. However, the components aren't as seamlessly integrated as their counterparts in other suites are. For one thing, you install the parental controls, offered through Blue Coat's K9 Web Protection, from a separate CD, which does nothing but provide you access to Blue Coat's Web site. And to configure undesirable Web-surfing categories (such as sex or drugs) on Blue Coat's site, you have to turn off the CA firewall's third-party cookie controls.

Features of CA's eTrust Internet Security Suite include:
eTrust AntiSpam:
