Our collection of free security software products has grown from what was originally a project to determine whether or not we could protect our own computers from all types of online threats using only free software. The answer to this was definitely yes! We then became interested in what other free internet security products were available. The list has been growing ever since.
When browsing our site, be confident that you have found the very best free software available. We have spent countless hours searching the internet for the top performing free security software of all types: free firewalls, free antivirus, free antispyware, free content filtering, free antispam, free privacy software etc. Many of the free software products we feature are totally unique and have no retail equivalants! We have done and continue to do the research, and you benefit from our efforts, it's as simple as that. This site is a labor of love for you to enjoy!
Please make sure that the products you find are compatible with your version of Windows (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista). Each products website should state which version of Windows their products work with. A number of visitors have requested that we add this information in our listings, so we will be updating our product descriptions to include this additional information. For the most current information visit their download area!
We will soon feature more detailed information and reviews for dozens of high quality free internet security software products such as Zone Alarm, Comodo, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Kerio, Outpost, SpamPal, we-blocker and AVG. (You may notice one or two products that are clearly identified as extended trials. They are included with the free products because their free trial periods range up to one year. We feel that this makes them more than just typical trial versions.)
The free security products we feature, when carefully selected and used in the proper combinations, should be all that you need to protect your computer from the full range of online threats. We soon will include suggestions for a number of combinations that we have already tested. These sample configurations should meet the various needs for a majority of our visitors. Our recommended combinations of free internet security software can protect you from the major types of threats including: viruses, spyware, adware, spam, trojans, worms, phishing schemes, undesirable content (adult etc.) and hackers.
We
are always trying out new combinations of free software on our test
systems.
You can find the details of our newest test configurations here.
