Top Ten Internet Security

1.BitDefender Internet Security

$39.95

 

BitDefender Internet Security is always aware and on guard. They protect over 400 million users worldwide from known and unknown internet assailants. Gold Award winner for internet security suites is an effective weapon against the evils of hackerdom. BitDefender can protect you and your family from invisible attacks from all angles – from the internet, email, social media, USB drives, network-connected devices and chat conversations.

After running BitDefender Internet Security through its paces, we must concur with a statement from BitDefender's Chief Technology Officer: "We've given the home user product range a striking overhaul, offering sleek, silent defense from today's e-threats," said Bogdan Dumitru, Bitdefender CTO. "The new interface is very easy to use, and the addition of the optional Autopilot feature will meet the demands of those users looking for a hassle-free security experience."

The BitDefender brand logo, the Dacian Dragon-Wolf, declares graphic hostility toward hackers who attack goodness. Half wolf and half dragon, the Dacian Wolf inspired confidence among ancient troops that carried it into battle by striking fear into enemies. BitDefender's mantra is simple – Awake – meaning that they strive to be relentlessly aware and ready for battle. We find the brand avatar and mantra to be appropriate to the spirit of BitDefender. If you arm yourself with BitDefender, you can have confidence in the multiple ways that it protects you. Moreover, when hackers attempt to breach your defenses and encounter a BitDefender guardian at your gates, they will lose confidence and move on to more vulnerable victims.

Cybercrime is in a sense the new global stealth mafia and costs billions in damages every year and increasing. When you're online you expose your personal information and your family's security unless the best internet security is on guard for you. BitDefender has the proven ability to protect your PC, your identity and your family from all angles.

2.Kaspersky Internet Security

We have installed, tested and reviewed a variety of their products and they have performed consistently superior to most competitors.

3.Panda Internet Security

$59.99

The prevalence of malware should not be underestimated. Just in the first nine months of 2011, Panda processed 19.9 million new malware specimens. In total, Panda has now processed 200 million malware files. Panda has a technology called Collective Intelligence, which is a cloud-based system for detecting, scanning, classifying and disinfecting thousands of new malware samples every day. This powerful and reactive tool has helped Panda create Bronze Award-winning Panda Internet Security suite, which has the proven ability to protect your PC from zero-day threats and mutating known threats.

The pioneers of the internet security industry maintain the best internet security suites. This is the case with Panda. They first launched a cloud-based scanner in 2007 – well ahead of the competition. Panda has been in the security business for over 20 years and has customers in nearly 200 countries. They have now translated their software into over 20 languages. They were the first internet security company to provide cloud-based antivirus protection in 2009 and launched the first Host Intrusion Prevention System in 2004. They are market innovators who keep in step with the equally creative cyber crime industry.

This internet security suite is a comprehensive total protection solution. It has parental controls, a firewall, a safe browser, a USB drive disinfector, a network manger, email protection and much more. It comes with useful extras such as 2GB of free online backup, restoration tools and remote PC access. It has tools for protecting your identity and contact information as well as a virtual keyboard for hiding login information from keyloggers.

4.AVG Internet Security

$54.99

AVG Technologies provides one of the most popular free antivirus applications available, but since 2006 they have added antispyware, link scanning, safe search, identity theft prevention and other technologies to their repertoire in order to create a complete internet security suite. Their antivirus software has tested well with VB100 since 2003, and they continue to earn awards and certifications from a variety of independent test labs.

The AVG Internet Security suite is a complete solution that goes beyond basic security. AVG understands that many users opt for the free antivirus version and that they need to offer valuable additions to entice them to upgrade to the paid version. To satisfy paying customers they provide tools that many other products and their free version do not, such as Facebook protection, website reports, anti-bullying technology to protect your children, a YouTube video accelerator, more frequent updates, system tools and 24/7 support.

5.Norton Internet Security

$69.99

Norton Internet Security can protect your computer, family and identity from all directions. It can protect from internet threats, bad links, network intruders and Android mobile phone malware, and it makes sure devices and discs you insert into your system are safe and social media interactions are secure. This internet security suite includes parental controls, a two-way firewall, network monitoring, a silent mode and much more to provide total protection.

We were impressed with all aspects of this suite. It has passed all major third-party tests and in some cases scored in the top 15 percent of security software products. It can even create a bootable recovery disc for you in case your computer gets so infected that you cannot start Windows. In addition, it goes beyond basic website ratings. It can provide you website reports before you click on a site, and it quickly checks file sources and age before you click on potentially hazardous links.

6.F-Secure Internet Security

$59.99

The best internet security suites balance up-to-date cloud computing technology with smart heuristic and behavioral analysis to be able to detect all malware. F-Secure Internet Security has achieved this balance and has a long history of passing numerous independent tests to prove it. In fact, in July of 2011 AV-Test rated F-Secure 100% in protection and 100% for detection of actively running widespread malware.

This suite also includes highly customizable parental control tools, a firewall, email filtering, scans and application control. In addition, it has the ability to limit demanding interactions with the cloud when connected by mobile broadband. This helps limit over-usage issues and unexpectedly high mobile broadband bills.

F-Secure's marketing slogan is "protecting the irreplaceable." To help support this statement they provide identity protection tools, intrusion prevention and a firewall. It also identifies online and email phishing attempts and will warn you before you submit your passwords and personal information into a website that's behaving suspiciously. Based on our experiences and third-party testing, we believe F-Secure can support their slogan and protect your valuable data.

7.Avast Internet Security

$49.99

In the past few years, Avast has improved significantly. They introduced a completely new interface with their last internet security suite release and they are receiving better efficacy scores from respected third-party testing agencies. The Avast Internet Security suite includes security components that all security suites ought to include, such as a firewall, spam filters, a game mode, safe browsing, privacy protection and file sharing protection. The only major security module this suite is missing is parental controls.

Avast is a fitting choice for those who like to engage in risky online behavior such as viewing video from unknown sources, P2P file sharing, image viewing, social media link-clicking and free game playing. This security suite has a tool called SafeZone, which can provide safe, secure web interactions in a zone separate from your computer. It also has a sandbox for running suspicious applications. With Avast, you can enjoy optimal web freedom.

8.ESET Smart Security

$59.99

The founders of ESET wrote their first application to detect a specific virus in 1987 and have since grown their company into a global security company with over 700 employees worldwide. They have passed a record 70 VB100 tests since 1998 and have sold over 100 million licenses. ESET is invested in long-term success across all platforms, including server-based and mobile security. For this review, we looked at the fifth version of ESET Smart Security. We tested the Windows version; however, they also offer mobile and Mac internet security versions.

ESET Smart Security is a complete suite; it provides parental controls, a personal firewall, virus and spyware protection, rootkit detection and removal, spam filters, game modes, device scanning and more. Though a long list of features may appear impressive, they must be paired with exceptional malware detection and removal to truly be the best security software. ESET has that too. ESET provides above average detection and malware removal abilities and boasts an extensive test history.

9.G Data Internet Security

$34.95

G Data, founded in 1985, is a global internet security company whose software continues to pass independent malware detection tests. The G Data Internet Security suite includes two powerful scanning engines, a firewall, spam filters, web protection and parental controls. This is one of the few suites in this review that also provides some mobile phone protection and 24/7/365 U.S.-based telephone and email customer support.

The G Data internet security suite is streamlined. The modules it includes are virus protection, signature updates, web protection, email check, firewall, spam protection and parental controls. From the home screen, you can easily view the status of all areas as well as license information and real-time CPU load data. We found this software quick to install and simple to configure. However, the parental controls and file shredder are separate downloads. Our first scan ran rather quickly, but it did pause a few times for high system use issues.

10.BullGuard Internet Security

$59.95

BullGuard understands our expectations of internet security software. They relate that "looking good only gets you so far. The product needs to work, and to work well." We agree. It does not matter how beautiful the interface is or how many modules it includes if it cannot protect you and your computer from all troublesome malware. But if a product has a proven track record of reliable performance and an attractive interface, that's even better. BullGuard Internet Security balances good looks with simplicity and performance to bring you effective protection.

Besides failed internet protection, users complain most about annoying security pop-ups. BullGuard makes it easy for you to decide exactly how much interaction you want to have with the software. They also understand that some want to install the software and never look at it again and others want to tweak every characteristic. This internet security suite includes powerful default setting and advanced configuration options for those who want to dictate exactly how the software reacts.
