We always get confused and cannot decide upon which is the best security software that will protect the PCs from various malicious threats like viruses, spyware, malware, rootkit, etc for home use. Here are some tips to help you in choosing the best security software for your PC. 1. There are three types of security software, which includes antivirus, internet security and total security. Antivirus security is a basic security software that protects your computer from viruses and other malicious threats that can infect the computer. Internet security protects your computer from all kinds of malicious threats from the internet and also has other features like email protection, firewall protection, anti-spam feature, which restricts any spam mail or junk mail from reaching your mailbox. It also offers complete web protection, which includes browsing protection as well as anti-phishing feature, which restricts you from visiting any phisy or fraudulent website. Total security offers complete protection and has additional features as well but it is mainly intended for professional use. 2. If you access internet regularly, then internet security software is the perfect one for you and if it is not that regular and you access the internet very rarely, then a basic antivirus software is enough. 3. Check the features before buying a security software and choose between Quick Heal or Kaspersky as these two offers better security from various kinds of threats.
