Well, it's an upgrade over last year's version (TIS 2004)in that they
have added some features that could be useful for those who have a home
network. I bought a 3 license pack, but have it installed currently on
only one system {I got 3 licenses for $39.00- wanna buy one?

}
The network intrusion module (with firewall capability) has been
modified to allow or deny traffic based on application, as well as
port, protocol and IP address(s). This is not a default setting though;
you have to pick the highest level of security if you want this.
The Wi-Fi detection works on one of my systems, but not another than has
a Cisco software VPN Adapter installed (autostart is disabled).
The Spyware module is....well...it's hard to say anything positive about
it. If there is one thing about PCC IS 2005 that's a pure POS, it's the
Spyware detection module. Disable it; don't use it. Period.
Spam filtering is *not* bad, although I'd rather use Mailwasher pro and
just disable the anti-spam module.
Its GUI looks "cheap", sort of reminds me of how I felt about Japanese
cars back in the early '70s.
Overall, I'd give it a C+/B minus. I haven't used KAV/KAH in over 5
years, so I don't what you'd be giving up, going with PCC IS 2005.
