Security Shield from PC Security Shield

If you want an antivirus software program that also includes a firewall and protection against spam, then Security Shield 2008 is a program to consider. The program is published by the same people who publish The Shield Deluxe, and they added extra features to that program for those who want an all in one package.

Again this software uses the leading edge Kaspersky antivirus engine to detect computer viruses and spyware.  This portion of the program looks and operates much the same as the Kaspersky Antivirus program.  Because it uses the Kaspersky code it uses the same signature database updates, which Kaspersky updates every hour.  This allows you to stay on top of any new virus threats.

Kaspersky is regarded as having the fastest response to new computer viruses.

To protect passwords and confidential data, Security Shield 2008, contains a personal firewall.

Most other security software companies charge extra fees for telephone support.  Online chat is what most companies use to provide support, and there are usually considerable delays in this type of support because the operators are answering questions from several different customers at the same time.  PC Security Shield offers free telephone support as a selling point for their software.  That is a significant feature to consider when selecting security software.
