The best internet security software

What is the best internet security software? This can be a controversial topic at times because everyone has their own opinion on what is the best internet security software. What I would like to compare is the differences between free software and the software you buy from some of the big companies.

Is it free software?

I know this is the first path people will take when looking for software to protect their computers from online threats. But is it the best for you to have full protection? If you’re not really concerned with having the best protection you can get, and if you’re not willing to pay for it, you’ll always settle for second best. It’s a fact that of all the free Internet security software you can get to protect your computer, it doesn’t protect it as well as the best products from the big companies you can buy.

I don’t know if anyone is following the trend of free internet security software companies. They offer free software but they also offer that software in an upgraded version that is for sale. I guess it could just be me, but it makes you wonder if they are saving their top of the line products for paying customers and offering their “reduced” versions for free.

Another problem with getting freeware is that it doesn’t come bundled with a suite. It’s not really a real problem, but it’s nice to get all your protection in one small downloadable package. This also saves you from having multiple programs installed and keeping them up to date.

You have bought?

This is for people who really want to protect their computers or networks at all costs. This has always been my personal way of doing it when I wanted to protect my computers from Internet threats. I know a lot of people might be saying why pay for it when I can get it for free. Well, if you are really concerned about Internet security for the protection of your computers, I would consider this route. Because? Because of all the internet security that is free, none of them work as well as the ones you can buy and those are just the facts.

One of the other benefits of buying their software is that you can get it in one neat downloadable package and you only have to run one update to have all included software up to date. Another thing is also that if you buy internet security in a suite or package it is cheaper for full protection. And most companies offer some form of technical support if you experience problems with the software. However, I would recommend one thing if you consider buying a suite is that you have enough memory to run it.

The downside of suites is that it can lag your system, causing it to run slower if updates and scans happen while you’re using your computer. Therefore, you should have at least 1 gigabyte of memory when considering internet security suites.

So when you’re looking for the best internet security software, the choice is really up to you which direction you want to go. There are many things to consider and what level of protection you want, but the most important thing is that you take the necessary steps and install some form of Internet security on your computer. Because at least having something is always better than nothing.
