D4\/!d Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I've just got this email from blueyonder - offering me their "comprehensive" package of (free) utils. Is it any good, coz I already use my favs: Adaware, Spybot, Firefox - inc the pop-up stopper, Kaspersky for antivirus and so on.As a valued blueyonder broadband complete customer we are making your service even better.FREE PC protection for you and your familyWe are giving you blueyonder PCguard, a comprehensive package of security services to protect your family and your PC from viruses, hackers and other Internet nasties.It's easy to get, easy to use, and includes a firewall, a pop-up blocker, anti-virus and anti-spyware protection and parental controls. Moreover, it updates itself automatically to ensure you have the latest protection.Do I take on this "comprehensive package of security services" as well as mine, or cease using the ones I like, in favour of the blueyonder pack :uhm: :uhm: :uhm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I currently have it installed on a testbed machine, and has caused problems as it won't allow me to browse the MSHOME network from other PCs on the network :blink: but I can browse from that PC.Switch off PCGuard and everything is back to normal.I have heard of one case where uninstalling PCGuard also possibly removed internet access from the PC it was uninstalled from.A little more work required on it IMO. I'm sticking with the tried and trusted for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
