What is internet security?

Question

How must security is required to be fully protected? I currently have ZoneAlarm Pro so do I also need Norton Internet Security™ 2006? My free Norton version is expireing and I'm wondering if I need to renew it?

Thanks,

Brian

Dear Brian,

In order for your system PC to be fully protected you would need to have an anit-virus program installed, your firewall must be turn on. To check to see if your firewall is turn on:

Click start, settings, control panel, and internet options, click security. If zonealarm pro protects your PC from malicious intruders you do not also need Norton Internet security, because than you are going to have two programs doing the same thing.

Make sure that you do update your security program wheather it be Norton or Zonealarm and make sure you have an anti-virus program as well.
