Frankly, being somewhat paranoid, the last place I would acquire a
security suite is from a major ISP. "Freedom" is free from what; is it
using a proxy to some Adelphia monitoring system? There are enough free
personal firewalls and low-cost anti-virus that work well; turning my
computer security over to my ISP whose vested interests might not
coincide with mine is, well, questionable, IMO. YMMV.
