What free security software should i have installed on my pc?internet security 2006



1. For your Anti-Virus.........................



I like the AOL AntiVirusShield. Don't let the name AOL scare you. AntiVirusShield is made by Kaspersky which is one of top-rated anti-virus vendors in the world.



In recent tests, the most popular free anti-virus, AVG, was only able to detect about 82% of a very large sample of viruses. On the other hand, AntiVirusShield was able to detect better than 99% in the same test.

AntiVirusShield has excellent virus detection rates and is extremely light on using your computer resources.



Updates many times per day to detect new malware.



Free to anyone, AOL member or not from:

2. For your Firewall......................



An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even most of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.



And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:
