PC Security Summary

Hello all, its time to review and summarize the security situations forPC's, yup, that old chestnut, to make a decision and select a productthat will protect you PC and ensure safe surfing, mail and banking /purchasing usage.

It should be so easy, yet its such a pain inthe fundamental, lets start with the common problems that all theproducts share, your computer may run as fast as a lovely sports carbut just wait until you add the tow bar kit and the large caravan ofsecurity related products, you lovely sports car performance willdisappear and you will be stuck with a family trunster that woulddeserve some wood grain paneling to put you in the Griswald category.

Thefact is, that all PC security products run and watch everything on yourPC while you use it, this is an enormous load to tow around and yes,your PC performance will drop off and you will sacrifice performancefor supposed safety.

Ideally, if the software was written welland I mean very well, it then could run lean and mean and extremelyefficiently however this just does not seem to be the case.

Efficientcode doesn't seem to be the highlight, rather everyone wants yourdollar and this area is not sold or focused on, so, you may as welllower your performance expectations prior to starting review of theavailable products.

Download the trials from each company andtry them for a month or two, after you are familiar with the productsand how they perform on your PC, then make a decision based on your ownexperience and select a security product.

In the old days onebought a product and owned it, unfortunately these days the industryseems to be moving towards yearly subscriptions which means every yearyou will need to fork out a handful of hard earned dollars, the goodnews is that you can chop and change every year until you find acompany that gets it right i.e. performance of PC not sacrificed.

So download and try them all before you buy the yearly subscription.
