The Big Three free security apps
As users of the Internet we face security threats every day. Nefarious hackers (not all hackers are), viruses, and spyware are rampant when browsing online and not taking precautions can mean lost data or even worse, identity theft. Frankly, if you’re computer is unprotected, you are rolling the dice every time you go online.
Certainly many users already know this and are already using trusted software or have other security measures in place to insure safe surfing. This Killer Download is for those who don’t or anyone who has questions regarding their safety online. Whenever I get a new system or get the call to "fix" a friends computer (which more often than not is infected with some sort of system-slowing malware), I always download software from the security categories I refer to as The Big Three. The Big Three are an antivirus program, an antispyware program, and a software-based firewall.
