Anti-virus software
Antivirus software can either be bought, or downloaded from the internet for free. Such software removes viruses, worms, and Trojan horses automatically without interrupting your work.

Among other providers, Symantec and McAfee both sell personal firewalls. The function of these is to keep personal data in and hackers out. They block suspicious Internet traffic and use special precautions to prevent personal information being disclosed without your knowledge. Symantec's Norton™ Personal Firewall 2005 costs 26.79 GBP and the McAfee Personal Firewall Plus is 29.99 GBP.
It is also possible to download versions of antivirus and firewall software for free from the internet.
