Q: What is the most recommended software?

A: Our top rated Internet security software package is Identity Guard with ZoneAlarm. Identity Guard is different than any of of the other products we have reviewed because it includes not just a full Internet security software suite to protect your PC, but also three bureau credit report monitoring and other features to help protect your identity. Identity Guard is priced differently than other security software suites as well. After a free 30 day trial you will be charged $14.99 per month. However, the ZoneAlarm security software is yours to keep whether or not you decide to become a paying member of Identity Guard (keep in mind that you won't receive any of the updated virus definitions if you decide to cancel your Identity Guard membership).

If you are looking for a more traditional Internet security software option, we suggest McAfee. McAfee offers an excellent set of tools to protect your PC and is confident enough in its service that it offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied with the software for any reason they will refund your money, no questions asked. Additionally, McAfee is currently 50% off standard price for a limited time, so it is also a great deal at just $39.95 per year.
