I personally use this and have been for many years. It’s booth very effective and free. This is a great compliment to your firewall and anti-virus software.

Internet security is one of the things handled in the ICDL course

Internet Security Software

I promised you a list of software for protecting your computer against viruses and other threats. Of course I’m not the first to do this, so instead I give you the firewallguide.com “some of the best personal firewalls and Internet security products and services that are available free for personal use”. And really they are, my favourites:

• ZoneAlarm (firewall) "The Best Freeware", PC World, January 31, 2007.
• Ad Blocker -- WebWasher Classic for Windows, Macintosh and Linux includes filters for web bugs, referrers, cookies, and URLs.
• AVG AntiVirus

The list also consists of software for Back Up Files Online, Anti-Spyware, Anti-Trojan, Parental 'Content' Filter, Popup Stopper and more.

Don’t spend unnecessary money on software that you are able to download for free, and it’s just as good.
