INTERNET SURFERS BEWARE!! The ever
growing threat of hackers, viruses and ad-ware is VERY real. Make
sure you are protected at all times. Internet Mal-ware can destroy
the information stored on your computer or slow your system performance.
Keeping your internet security software up-to-date is the best
foremost way to deal with these issues. For your convenience we’ve
listed several websites that sell complete packages or upgrades
to cover all the different types of security threats. There are
many other vendors than what we have posted, but these are the
most popular and recommended softwares. Check out the Internet
Security document (PDF) or visit OTZ’s new
PC resource center to review these types of products on the internet.
THE BEST IS NOT FOR FREE! For various
reasons, many people choose to customize their security software
by piecing together different versions of freeware software. Freeware
are programs you can use on your computer that are downloadable
from the internet free of cost. These programs are convenient
ways to add protection to older computers with less resources
or even to add protection to older versions of Windows or other
operating systems. They also appear on newer computers because
of cost saver benefits. The downside to most of these freeware
programs is that they are often lacking in features that would
otherwise come with the purchased versions. Never-the-less, if
you find yourself without the ability to install and run a full
internet security program, it is in your best interest to try
some form of freeware software. You must make a decision whether
you need Anti-virus, Spy-ware, Firewall protection, Spam Guard,
or Popup protection before you proceed. We have provided some
popular suggestions in this Free
Software document (PDF). REMEMBER, PURCHASED SOLUTIONS
IN MOST CASES WILL ALWAYS WORK BETTER THAN ANY FREE SOLUTION.
Please note: It is not recommended
to use these freeware software utilities in conjunction with a
properly installed Internet Security Package such as the ones
listed in the Internet Security link.
