Internet security, anti virus, spyware and firewal protection
Nowadays more and more internet security software companies are bundling their programs in expensive packages. Symantec Norton personal firewall, or Sygate, is now integrated in Norton internet security and is no longer available as stand alone program. Grisoft AVG also offers internet security bundles with a build in firewall for intrusion protection.
These bundles also offer protection from virusses, spyware, malware, tracking cookies, trojan horses and keyloggers. Therefor these internet security bundles are well suited for the average internet user. But what if you don’t need all these additional programs, what if your computer is already protected against viruses and spyware by the installation of 3rd party software such as kaspersky, nod32, spydoctor, ad-aware, spysweeper etc. In these situations it is not recommended to install such a bundle, because it could lead to compatibility issues.
Most internet security bundles are making use of various virus / spyware protection shields that prevent these malicious programs from infecting your computer. These shields offer excellent protection from spyware and viruses before they even get the change to infect your system. However, using different programs with several protection shields may cause conflicts with the software.
