Password managers aren’t what I would call ‘sexy’ – they simply serve a purpose, albeit an important one for some people.

I guess this may only appeal to a minority of users – those who use their computers for financial transactions and who don’t already have a robust security solution in place – and if any of you are in that position then you want to be trying out SafePay NOW!!!!!!!!!

GData Internet Security 2014 offers fair performance for a fair price. I do think, however, that there will be better quality 2014 suites out later in the year, especially as existing 2013 versions already offer more in terms of protection.

Whilst playing you’ll probably think that its just a game, which it is, but when you close your browser after a session you will, most likely, reflect on what the game is telling you – your information has a high value and you give it out far too willingly.

The program works well and is definitely worth using in my opinion. I can’t think of many reasons not to use a VPN and encrypting your traffic isn’t a bad idea either.

Malware detection and removal is ok but certainly not the best you’ll find this year. If that isn’t the be all and end all of your decision-making process then this free program is very lightweight and comes with some genuinely useful extra features such as Software Updater and Browser Cleaner.
