Antivirus Software vs.
Internet Security Suites
Compare Antivirus to Internet Security for 2011
What do you really get from the more expensive Internet Security Suites?
And more importantly: What do you really need to secure your computer?
Internet security suites protect with two extra things that are seldom in regular antivirus software:
- firewall software
- malicious website filtering
The two most important though: the firewall and the malicious URL filtering, which can help prevent phishing attacks and identity theft, are worth the price of admission.
Generally the price difference between regular antivirus software and an Internet Security Suite is about $10.
And, it's $10 well spent, even if you already have a hardware firewall on your network.
