Over the last few years it has been great to see internet and computer security in the news more than ever. Mainstream sites, Facebook, Twitter and many other web sites and resources have done wonders to raise security awareness.

I’d like to think now that the vast majority of computer users are well aware of the types of threats out there that can pose very real problems to them from the moment they connect their PC to the web. I’d also like to think that you also realise the need to put security software onto your computer in order to combat these threats.

What may be a little confusing, however, is which program to use.

Hopefully you can use my reviews, as well as other sources on the internet, to help you make a more informed decision as to whether to protect your computer with:

• A free antivirus program
• A paid for antivirus program
• A paid for internet security package

To help you a little more with your decision making process I am going to put up some simple comparison charts. With these you can quickly and easily pick a security company and then see the differences between the different programs that they offer.
