Many information security professionals are warning about the state of our computer usage and how safe our computers really are when it comes to anti-virus software. It is being stated across the security profession, that attackers are constantly ahead of security software developers. Security software is designed to recognize previously identified traits associated with viruses, Trojans, and yes, this means that an attacker’s software developed and released at 3:30 this afternoon, may not be detected.
It would be wrong to say that you aren’t safe if you have security software installed, but you are not protected against software that has just been developed, released, and identified by security professionals and added to your security software updates. Many professionals are suggesting the purchase of a security suite from trusted sources and developers. In a PCMag article by Neil Rubenking, the list of top security suites for 2011, are as follows:
-McAfee Total Protection 2011
-Norton 360 Version 5.0
-Norton Internet Security 2011
-Outpost Security Suite Free 7.0
-Outpost Security Suite Pro 7.0
-Panda Internet Security 2011
-PC Tools Internet Security 2011
-Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2011
-TrustPort Internet Security 2011
-Webroot Internet Security Complete 2011
By purchasing a security suite from one of the above mentioned, users will have a better chance of protecting their personal and vital information. Not even computer abstinence can guarantee a 100% data integrity in today’s world, but some protection is better than none.
