Other security threats

Viruses are no longer the only threat to your computer. This is why it is vital to understand the protection that is given by your antivirus software.

This is why we strongly recommend you upgrade antivirus protection. to a comprehensive product that gives full internet security protection.

In addition to antivirus protection, internet security protection should include a firewall, anti-spam, anti-phishing, anti-banner, parental control, application control and virtual keyboard.
