What is the difference between an ‘Anti-virus’ software and an ‘Internet Security’ software?
Monday, January 10th, 2011
I want to buy an new Anti-virus software for my computer but when searcher amazon, both ‘Anti-Virus’ and ‘Internet Security’ software keep showing up. I thought an Anti-virus is internet security?
If they are different, what would be the best one to have installed?
You should get both. Internet security is to prevent hackers from getting into your computer, protect your personal info (credit card numbers, bank accounts, etc) and should stop viruses from getting into your computer.
Anti-virus looks for and cleans your computer of viruses that have made it past your Internet security software.
Most decent packages should include both like a good antiperspirant/deodorant.
