I'd like some feedback from all those who are using Adelphia's Internet Security Freedom software.  As all good little Adelphia HSI users know, this free software supposedly provides virus protection, spyware protection, pop-up blocking, a firewall, and other stuff.

I'm currently using Norton SystemWorks and Spybot, which seem to be providing adequate virus and spyware protection.  Pop-up blocking is done by Internet Explorer.  Some kind of firewall protection is provided by SystemWorks in a way I've never taken the time to understand.

My Norton subscription is due to expire in a couple months.  So, I'm thinking about using Adelphia's Freedom software to replace Internet Explorer's pop-up blocking, Spybot, and protective elements of SystemWorks.  Is this a good idea?

the Adelphia "freedom" software is another n00b tool.    just like microsoft software and many others, this is a n00b tool that offers "protection" and "non protection" for their use of your information.

in other words... it's a trojan/virus that gives you some kind of a benefit.


as a PC tech, i don't install it on anyone... and the ones that do have it installed, i simply just remove it.

cheap marketing hook.
