Re: Internet Security




While you comments are interesting, they are not particularly helpful. I am
assuming that you are saying that "security" involves much more than a suite
of programs. It involves in depth understanding of the types of risks and
greater familiarity with both intrusion detection and the impact of malicious
programming on the operating system. Further, it involves managing the risks
of having personal or sensitive data on a computer and seeing to it that it
does not get compromised. Still, concrete suggestions would prove more
useful considering that I am not a computer scientist. Thanks!

It is time for me to renew internet security subscriptions.

Why pay for Internet security? It's free.

All a security software provider can provide you with is a good
*feeling* of security. If you find that worth paying for, fine with
me.

At present, I use AVG as anti-virus and zonealarm for firewall and spyware scanning.

That's irrelevant if you actually want to discuss security.

I wanted to get other user's opinions about these products and also
recommendations if you think there are better programs or suites.

What makes you think security is something you install? -It isn't.
