SOME 'SIMPLY MUST HAVES'

 (I use them all, and they are totally FREE - so no more excuses, please)

VIRUS PROTECTION:Sooo many people take this un-necessary risk. Get it now, for everyone else's sake as well as your own - don't spread a virus to your friends and family. Things have moved on since I used to recommend AVG. My preference (having tested many) is now for Avira. Superb detection rate, and easy to use.

FIREWALL: Your computer may allow anyone to access your files, and your software may betray your personal details to others without you knowing - it's more common than most will believe! Comodo is arguably the best FREE firewall protection - even if Zonealarm remains the easiest.

SPY-WARE: Is the software that you have loaded betraying you? Lots of programs inform advertising and marketing companies about you, your surfing habits and your preferences. SPYBOT Search and Destroy puts a stop to it, and protects you from further intrusion. If you think it is all hype, so have no protection, look here.

DATA SECURITY:  TRUECRYPTwill give you TOTAL protection for your data. No-one else will even know what is there, and only you can access it with your password. No messing with individual files either - simply create an encrypted drive letter and save all your private information there. Brilliant, simple to use, very secure & totally FREE. Can be used to encrypt complete PCs/Laptops, individual partitions or even for a portable storage containers on data sticks!

E-MAIL HOSTING:. Do you need more from your Email? Two great services - GMAIL and GMX both offer terrific FREE web-enabled Email storage. Both offer imap services so you can continue to read/write your mail in your favourite Email application, whilst always being able to log-in and read your mail wherever you are in the world - and from any PC. Used with BIGFOOT, this is the ultimately flexible way to control your mail. They both have HUGE storage and great spam traps too...

LIFETIME E-MAIL ADDRESS:. When you change Service Providers your Email address changes and you must remember to inform everyone. Other providers give long, messy addresses. Get ONE address from BIGFOOT & KEEP it forever!

UK PREFERENCE SERVICES:  PESTERED by tele-sales people pushing Double-Glazing or Conservatories that you simply do not want? This is simple to deal with - Register your number with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS), and ALL tele-sales calls will stop very quickly. Free, fast, simple and efficient. See also the Mail Preference Service (MPS) for a similar service defending your mailbox against  unsolicited junk, and the Fax Preference Service (FPS) saving your expensive fax paper.

If you think it's all just an overdose of paranoia, take a look at Steve Gibson's
superb site - especially his wonderful Shields Up! tools.
  I hope you will then see why you NEED a firewall...
