Any knowledge about real supplier of Cox's new Security Blanket

[postman delivers]

Cox, is e-mailing their clients, pounding the pavement to enroll their
members in a new blanket of security...

My personal experience, AOL anti-virus is a flop, the last three computers I
had to repair this week on AOL were from three separate households and all
had active malware, that AVG, spybot search & destroy - ad-aware easily
detected and removed.

Some of the malware was part of the security install, from Aim & AOL...

I understand the child thing is a joke, as anyone using Parental Controls in
their computer, has already lost touch with their children.

Hmm... It took a bit of digging but it looks like they're using
Authentium's ESP Integrated Security Suite.

See <http://isp.authentium.com/> for product details.

Is this system reviewed by a reliable testing company, or is this Cox
getting on the we protect you advertising bandwagon like AOL's - In my
opinion, AOL's system appears to be a complete failure to protect their
consumers!

This is a very good point. Both AOL and Cox are running warm and fuzzy
TV commercials on security. Utter bull.

Not that I've seen... Authentium's stand alone anti-virus program,
Command Antivirus, has been tested by Virus Bulletin and others many
times... I haven't seen any tests of the ESP Suite though.
