BT Yahoo Security Software

Hi Guys

I was wondering if many people out there had used the BT Yahoo Security software (Norton Internet Security) that comes as part of BT Total Broadband?

I was using it, however I decided to take it off and try NOD for 30 days. NOD didnt detect anything nasty after I ran a check of my hard drive either. I was just wondering, have any of you had good or bad experiences with it as I'm tempted to put it back on?

But I'm not had any experience with it. It's kinda like Virgin's / Blueyonder's PC Guard crap that you get with their setup disks for cable. Would never install it.

I've seen a number of client's machines using it and I've found no real issues. I'm using Sophos/AVG full version and avlast and all with no issues.

Welll Ive gone to a dual boot setup now so we will see how it fairs as I'm using it with Vista and AVG with XP. I will scan both partitions with both pieces of software a couple of times a week to see if its any good. I decided to pop XP alongside vista so that I could play Lost Planet Extreme Condition as it wouldn't run on Vista as per my other post.
