RECOMMENDED FREE INTERNET SECURITY SOFTWARE
Stop hackers from getting into your PC, download the free (personal) version is good enough for home use.
A reliable free antivirus for single user, update available several times daily. Having an outdated antivirus means no protection at all, here’s one for free.
Another reliable free antivirus. Protects your computer against dangerous viruses, worms, Trojans and costly dialers.
Another fine AntiSpyware software, frequently updated.
Better than Internet Explorer in terms of security and ease of use with many useful extensions.
Another alternative browser, one that I frequently use, faster and better in handling heavy loaded web-sites, however it has some compatibility problem.
