Greetings --
It wouldn't hurt you to try them and see if they suit your tastes
and needs, but I didn't like them. I briefly installed the eTrust EZ
Armor LE that was included with the security update CD, but removed
them less than a week later, to return to Grisoft AVG and Sygate's
Personal Firewall.
I had no particular problem with either, but found them
less-than-intuitive to use (particularly the antivirus component), and
annoying (frequent reminders from the firewall to purchase the full
version). I didn't particularly care for the interface of either, as
well.
