Symantec Client Security

Is anyone running Symantec Client Security?   Is it better than Symantec Corporate Antivirus?   Does it pose any problems on the local user side?

will it block adware and spyware from installing on the local machine.
Yes, it basically stops viruses from infecting your system, checks incoming and outgoing E-mail and keeps intruders from hacking your system. This is a must if the system is directly connected to a cable or DSL modem.

No, it shouldn’t block the installation of the software. SCS will setup automatic rules for certain applications that it knows are safe like Internet Explorer, but if it doesn't recognize the software it will verify it's access by warning the user that an application is trying to access the internet. Just make sure you select always allow when the user is prompted for that particular application.

Hope this helps out.. It's a great program.
