PC Tools Internet Security 2009: Internet Security At Its Best (Page 2 of 2)

After Internet Security 2009 is installed and the virus database updated, the simple menu for the software gives the user the choice of any of these functions - the Anti-Spyware, Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus, or Firewall features.

To the left of the user menu are buttons to select a scan, check settings, or choose IntelliGuard. IntelliGuard is specific to the Spyware Doctor software component installed with PC Tools Internet Security 2009. It has numerous functions:

• It can monitor and scan email attachments.
• It can prevent Malware from making changes to your Network.
• It can detect Rootkits.
• It can protect Windows registry files.
• It can monitor “cookies” placed on a hard drive.
• It can prevent keylogger infection, and stop someone stealing your details.

Internet Security 2009 also contains the Browser Defender component, which protects from changes to your browser. Browser Defender also tracks the sites visited to detect any harmful infections. Unlike other software, the user has the option of choosing whether they would or would not like to install Browser Defender.

The most important while reading a review of a software application would be, “Does this product provide value for money?” In layman’s term, “Will I receive my money’s worth by buying this??” PC Tools Internet Security 2009 is in fact worth it. It can be purchased at the retail price of $59.95, which includes the ability to install the software on at least three computers.

The main reason that PC Tools Internet Security 2009 is such a great value for money is because it is bundled software. PC Tools has added almost every security tool that a small business or home office user would need, and then some!

The software is able to detect and destroy Spyware, Viruses, and Spam, while giving protection from Popups and Hijackers. Before the release of bundle software suites, it was necessary to buy separate software. For example, it was necessary to purchase software against Spam, and other software to protect and dispose of viruses. By including all these features in the same “box,” computer users will have adequate protection for their computer.

With Spyware Doctor as a component of PC Tools Internet Security, a computer user is able to simply install the program with barely any tweaking needed. It has a fast IntelliScan system, which can “scan on demand,” with also the ability to schedule scans for more convenient times. The software is easy enough for non-technical individuals to use, and with Anti-Spam, Popup blocker, and a Firewall, this software makes surfing the Web a safer experience. These features combine to make the product a great choice for home and home office users alike.
