While this product is a bit pricey we particularly liked the Wi-Fi intrusion protection. The free tech support is provided only by email which is somewhat of a minus but, it's available 24 hours per day 365 days a year. This means someone is always there to respond to your concerns and watching out for the latest online virus or security threats. We recommend Panda Internet Security 2008 for it seems to cover all the bases when it comes to securing your pc from multiple threats. You really can't go wrong with purchasing this product. The lack of live tech support and price knocks our rating down a notch but it's still a fine product.
