Chip,
Every security package contains surprises, and components that have to be
configured. You can't protect yourself without risks. You just have to
inventory the components that you have installed, and look at each one. And
read the user guide with each one.
You just have to diagnose your problems, one computer at a time, one layer at a
time. It's easier with 3 or more computers, but it can be done with 2.
