Internet Security - The Best Malware Protection

Viruses are no longer the only threat on the Internet these days. Spyware (a.k.a Adware), Trojan Horses, Key-loggers, Rootkits and many other malicious programs have joined the ranks of online threats. Single purpose security software is no longer enough to provide adequate protection against these malicious threats. A combination of anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-hacker and anti-spam protection is necessary for all-round protection against malware.

What is malware?
Malware is a collective noun for viruses, spyware, trojans and all other malicious software applications and can be viewed as digital terrorism. Malware is not a specific threat but more like a combination of several threats, making it hard to combat it with an anti-virus or anti-spyware application alone. Several types of security programs have to be combined into one integrated package to combat malware effectively.

What kind of software is available to combat malware effectively?
An Internet Security suite is the best weapon against malware. Malware do not only spread through web sites, but also through free programs, local area networks and e-mail. That is why it is necessary to have a firewall and an e-mail scanner to support the protection given by the anti-virus and anti-spyware components of the security suite.

What are the benefits of an integrated Internet Security Suite?
