Despite having Cox Security Suite installed on my PC, my computer was infected with the Security 2010 virus. After updating with their lastest DAT file, and a thourough scan, the virus remained. The support tech at http://service.mcafee.com/ promptly indentified the issue, but said it could only be removed by purchasing an upgraded version of the McAfee product for $89.95. Cox implicitly states, as part of their advertising, that their Security Suite protects its Internet at Home customers against malware, viruses, spyware, trojans and other internet security threats. I suggest contacting your state attorney's office and File an official complaint if you have also encountered the same. I did and effectively went after Blockbuster Inc. for a similiar false advertising issue (No More Late Fees) and WON! ...And so did their entire customer base.

Cox Security Suite vs. Norton or McAfee ??
24-Jul-07
Anyone have experience with Cox Communications Security Suite? I'm
considering dumping Norton and going with Cox's Security Suite since it is
free (or included) as a subscriber to Cox High Speed
Do you know if Cox is powered by Norton, McAfee, TrendMicro or is it stand
alone
Thanks

Ask your ISP what the suite comes with. Personally, I do not recommen
these types of software packages at all
Definitely dump Norton and go with a stand-alone A-V software instal
such as NOD32 http://www.eset.com *Not free* - well worth the smal
investment

assistance and user friendly console ( balance it off ), also one AV and
atleast 2 Anti-spyware: 1 with realtime monitoring and the other one as back
up

Kaspersky is one of the best A-V scanners available
You get what you pay for
Freeware scanners are dubious at best
Protect your investment and data, *buy* one
My 2 cents... <wink

Thats why I did indicated to have 2 Anti-Spyware and the for the one to not
avail or disable real time monitoring which would likely slowdown a system,
In my experience no one or AS would say it can take out everything in one
sitting. quite often having 2 widens the options. As per point that 70% of
worlds infection today is of anti-spyware, malware etc... than a virus. And
most of the virus circulating has already a fix than spyware,
ransomware,rougeware,malware, adware that change by the minute - depending
on how much profit the financiers gain along the way.
It might be an overkill but i dont want to take chances of a possible return
or occurence of a nasty infection.
