I found this on another forum and removed the cid bit from the URL, but then it switched just to 30 days, rather than one year... to clarify, though, it's not an ID of mine so please be assured there's no benefit for me posting!

I have been using CA anti-virus for 4 years since I bought my computer from Aldi and it had a 60 day trial period. Not had any problems with it, also daily auto updates. Computer Associates is a world wide multi billion dollar company.

i got it free earlier in the year and have had no problems i ditched norton:j

well each to their own: Agv corrupted my graphics cards, in the end Dell had to restore my computer to factory settings. Avira gave me so many pop-ups advertising and trying to freak me out that I got rid of it and was almost put off antivirus protection for good! As soon as I installed Adaware, I was confused- but there was no one to ask- I had a free version and therefor had no contact details or rights to call.

Yes there are many free versions out there, but just because its free does not mean its perfect for you, if it does, great, if it doesn't then it is ok to find something else! Even if what you find is not for free!

Ok, will stop now, just fed up of reading ppls comments about free virus protection and etc as if its a huge error to ever pay for virus protection. Each to their own. Everyone has a right to make up their own mind.

I used the CA Internet Suite for quite a few years until the latest version appeared, never had any problems.
The new "2009" suite caused a lot of problems on both an XP desktop and a Vista laptop.
Despite the valiant attempts from CA Tech Support at resolving the problem, in the end I had to uninstall it and was given a full refund.
I now use Kaspersky Suite on 3 systems and McAfee (provided free by O2) on the other 3 PCs.
In my opinion CA was excellent up until this years release.
