How you are well protected against Internet threats

Most people think that their computer is secure enough or see the danger of viruses and other Internet threats are not good at it. Here's how to avail the best protection against virus.

Today daily millions of people surfing the Internet. While the Internet greatly with it has brought, it also brings disadvantages. Internet has also become very attractive to criminals. Active criminals on the Internet almost always try to make money from individuals or organizations. Actually, the only thing to be done here, good security software purchase. And that is exactly what happened with most Internet users is not the case. Still, the bulk of the private computers insufficiently protected.

There are many different security software available from many suppliers. For most software should be paid, although there are some free virus scanners available. The most popular are listed below;

Free:


* AVG antivirus Free Edition
* Avira AntiVir Personal
* Avast Home Edition

Paid:

* Norton
* McAfee
* Kaspersky
* ESET
* Zone Alarm

Many people will list the above questions. Should I buy free or paid security software? And what software is really the best? This is not easy to answer, it will give a brief explanation;

Free or paid?
The software is offered free of charge, usually contains only protection against computer viruses. Unfortunately, there is now much greater threats such as spyware, malware and phishing. This free security software you are not protected. Free security software is also less effective as paid versions. It is not advisable to just install free security software. Many people think that they are adequately protected, but this is often outdated.

The paid versions are usually effective. This makes sense, because companies want to keep paying customers happy. This does not mean that any paid security software is good, but this light I below. There is also the distinction between anti-virus and Internet security. Anti-virus protection only against viruses and also against other Internet security threats. As I have already explained, there are now Internet threats not only from viruses. It is therefore advisable to internet security to purchase.

What is the best security software?
It is hard to say. On the internet, many reviews of security software available. They differ, however, often with what security is there at number one. Often it is a personal choice, one has more possibilities than the other. There is quite a difference in price. Anti-virus varies in price from € 25, - to € 40, - per year. Internet security varies in price from € 40, - to € 60, - per year. It is often possible to licenses for multiple computers to buy and for a longer period (more than one year). If you still have no idea what security software you should buy, I recommend that you use from the above list to choose from. McAfee has my personal preference.
