mcafee internet security suite

If you have a computer that is connected to the Internet, you have to have some anti-virus software and a firewall running at all times. If you don’t, you are just asking for trouble. The other day my husband found a virus on our computer that was made to capture our keystrokes. That means that someone might find out all of the passwords that I put into the many sites I visit each day. Luckily for us, even though our anti-virus failed, our firewall did not. This convinced my husband that the McAfee Internet Security Suite that we had on our computer was not enough. We needed something more.

That is not that that McAfee Internet Security Suite is not good. We got this through our provider, and we think it works just fine. The problem is that it did not catch this particular virus, and that is something that can happen with any software. My husband uses the desktop now, and I have my own computer, and he was never good about allowing the McAfee Internet Security Suite updates to come through our firewall.

Anymore, it is a good idea to have more than one anti-virus on your computer. What one might not catch, the other might get. There are just so many different viruses and other problems popping up that it is hard for anyone to keep up. Those who make McAfee Internet Security Suite have to find everything and figure out how to catch it before it can reach your computer, and that might be harder than it sounds. There are times when something can slip through. If you have two, you are going to be doubly protected.

If you didn’t get McAfee Internet Security Suite with your Internet service like I did, you can find it online or in your local software store. You might want to make it one of two, as I have mentioned, and use the firewall if it comes with one. I am not sure if ours did, as I use a different firewall entirely. You should find and use everything you can to protect your computer and your information. Now that more and more services are now online, more and more thieves are trying to get a hold of your money and your information. If you think about how much banking, investing, buying, and selling we do online, you can see why thieves find it to be such a temptation.
