virus, Trojan, worm, spyware and spam protection are only the beginning. For
families, software to protect kids is needed. If you keep sensitive personal
information and/or documents on your computer, they should be password protected
or encrypted. If you dislike the idea of companies tracking your surfing habits,
you need software to erase your browser tracks and manage cookies. If you prefer
