Pros: Partially Working Ad Blocker Cons: Too Annoying
Since the first day I got my DSL I have had a firewall of some sort running on my PC. The main program has been Zone Alarm. I cannot stress how important it is to have some sort of firewall when you have a network type connection like a cable, or DSL...

Pros: Complete Protection Cons: None Known
I don’t know of any other virus protection I’d trust but Norton. We have had a computer system since 1992 and this is the only virus protection we’ve ever had. We’ve updated several times, of course, and are currently running the 6.0 version.

Pros: The Norton Name, Ad Blocker, Norton AV, Parential Blocks, Nice Logs, IP Logging, Integrates with SystemWorks Cons: Subscription ends in a year, Think they airbrush Peter Norton to look younger on Box
After I had my internet cable modem connected for about three months, I started noticing intermitant problems. Unable to find the problem even though I troubleshoot for a living. I thought maybe my problems might be coming from outside my home. So I...

Pros: Updates automatically, more than just a virus scanner.
Cons: Firewall is too complicated for most people. No substitute for being cautious.
I’ve heard it said that the safest computer is turned off, unplugged, and locked in the closet; it’s also the least useful.
So if you’re going to use a computer at all, it’s wise to take the most practical steps to protect it. One such...

Pros: Firewall security, easy to use, free download, parental security features, anti-virus software, automatic updates. Cons: Wish they had it password secure to disable.
If you have a cable modem or DSL or some other type of connection where you're connected all or most of the time... then a personal firewall is an absolute must. If you're one of those "I've got to see it to believe it type people" -- here's a...

I was recently blessed with a Trojan Virus, given to my computer by some hacker who has nothing better to do with his time than destroy others property. My daughter was online with her friend and she received an email from what she thought was him. She...

Pros: Excellent security; blocks ports well; great ad blocking feature Cons: Expensive; ZoneAlarm (which is free) is an equally good firewall; consumes a lot of memory
More then a year ago, I decided to get on the broadband wagon and became a DSL subscriber. Wow... is DSL fast??!?!?! :-)
Well, there's one problem. Broadband connections like DSL and Cable are "always on", unlike dial-up. This means that...

Pros: Free updates, Anti-virus software included, downloadable, great for private browsing Cons: Memory Hog, first version has a few minor bugs, pricey
It seems like a day cannot go by without reading or hearing about a some mysterious hacker or 15-year-old wizkid breaking into a multi-million dollar company. Your inbox is constantly packed with e-mails warning you about the next "Happy Park"...

Pros: So thorough, it stopped me from loading a Barbra Streisand fansite. Cons: I can't launch my browser
As a college student living in the dorms, one of the perks of living there is the hyper-fast T3 connection. But it also means that your computer is online ALL the time, exposing you to a lot of risks. So when I started school this last quarter I...

I had the program running for two days when some hacker tried to get into my system. I was surfing the net when the security alert came up. I was at a game site and was a little surprised. But since this program gives all the...
