How to Make Your PC Safe and Fast

Sometimes, safety can be inconvenient, no matter how necessary it is. Take, for example, PC security. Many security software suites can slow your PC's performance to a painful crawl.

You're probably aware of all the threats prowling the information superhighway, such as spyware, viruses, adware, malware, hackers, Trojans, worms, keyloggers . . . and more emerge every day. Yet many security suites designed to address these problems can slow down your computer's performance to the point that you may just decide the inconvenience outweighs the risks. That's because they're bloated with features, bells and whistles you simply don't need in order to be secure.

Now there's a security suite that addresses common Internet threats without slowing down your PC. Webroot Internet Security Essentials (WISE) protects your PC without affecting its performance by providing you with the essential protection you need without a lot of memory-consuming extras you don't.

WISE packs nuts and bolts security software, a disk cleanup function to remove unneeded files that can reduce system performance, and secure, automatic local and online backup to protect your files from virtually any threat or loss, including hard drive crashes, fire, theft or accidental deletion. Its streamlined design keeps your PC protected without slowing it down.

An intelligent 2-way firewall prevents intrusion into your PC and valuable files. WISE works for both casual and sophisticated users, with an easy security dashboard that alerts you to potential problems and helps you fix them quickly, and a Gamer Mode that blocks online threats without interrupting your gaming experience.

The suite offers automatic online updates, and a global early response network ensures fast protection against new and emerging threats. The suite runs on Windows XP and Vista operating systems and you can protect up to 3 PCs with the purchase of just one suite.

WISE further enhances security by allowing you to share files with others without sending data as an e-mail attachment - one of the prime ways viruses and other malware are transmitted. The suite allows you to send a download link to anyone who has an e-mail address, and built-in security ensures they can only see the file you choose to share while your other files remain secure and private.
