Which one is better Anti-virus or Internet security

Hello there Kenneth!,

I will give you some pointers in choosing what is best both for you and your computer. Internet security and Anti-virus are different and the same in many ways. 

Anti-virus is a software that detects and cleans out virus infected files while internet security is an application that protects users from threats in the internet.

In fact if you buy an Internet security package, anti-virus is included in the program which makes sense but it is more expensive.

But mind you Internet Security Package has lot of stuffs to make your unit secured. It has a firewall, anti-malware, anti-spyware and email spam protection.

Otherwise anti-virus is not bad but internet security makes more sense in your budget. Pricey but you can ignore the benefits right?

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I will suggest you not to buy any anti-virus or security system but to buy registered operating system if you are using some Microsoft operating system. Because Microsoft provides “Microsoft Security Essentials” free of cost for registered users.

And it is best one in the world now a days because it not only provides protection against viruses but also provides protection against malware and spyware too.

And if you are using some other operating system, then I will suggest you “NOD32” or “Bit Defender”. Both of these are best and clean your infected files by cleaning the problem instead deleting the infected files.
