Internet Provider Security-Just say No!

It seems once again in my area, one of the local Internet providers (Shaw) has sent out their promotion to get everyone to use their built in security services and once again I am finding myself responding to numerous questions about this and "should I get this service?"   Quite simply, NO.  

Then why not?  You ask yourself when you start to install the service. You will first find it telling you to uninstall any built in antivirus software and then TURN OFF YOUR WINDOWS FIREWALL.   Excuse me but this is also why I have stopped using Symantec Services like Norton's Antivirus and Security.  You can read more about this from my previous posts here as well as previously to that here .
