Advantages: protection

Disadvantages: hard to live with

Getiing paranoic with the fast always on internet I tried the trial version.
Downloads beautifully & then takes over your computer.
If you are a novice you will get yourself into such hassles you won't be able to function.
Causes conflicts with existing programs and causes freezes.
After rebooting you sometimes cannot reconnect to the internet without uninstalling the feature.
I gave up in under a month.
This was surprising because the 2000 family edition version was very user friendly and gave me no problems at all till I ran out of updates after a year.
The 2001 version gave me nightmares.
I am not saying it is not an excellent product but very difficult to live with if you are not an expert.
I am making do with the antivirus and hoping for the best.
