Protect yourself from viruses, spyware, spam, phishing, identity theft and more with this all-in-one security suite
Webroot Internet Security Complete 2011 is a comprehensive security suite that includes some interesting and unusual features that you won't find in competing packages.
The core features, of course, seem quite familiar. A strong antivirus engine detects, blocks and removes malware; a spam filter keeps most junk emails out of your Inbox, and browsing protection warns you about malicious sites before you click on their link.
You get excellent protection against identity theft. A password generator will create secure random passwords, for instance, making it difficult for anyone to hack your accounts. Don't worry, you won't have to remember them - Webroot Internet Security Complete 2011 will automatically log you in. The program can also complete web forms for you at a click, and the ability to import data from many third-party password managers - KeePass, Password Keeper, Roboform, 22 in total - means it could be handling your logons within minutes.
Webroot Internet Security Complete 2011 also includes excellent file synchronisation and sharing abilities. Drag and drop your most important files and folders onto the program and they'll be uploaded to your own online storage space - you get a generous 10GB - then automatically synchronised with your other computers.
Selected files can easily be shared with friends, family or colleagues. If you're uploading photos, the program will generate a thumbnail gallery for them, a simple way to share your favourite shots. Or you can directly upload selected images to Facebook in a few clicks.
And an integrated System Cleaner frees up hard drive space by removing temporary files, your internet history and so on, optionally overwriting them to ensure they can't be recovered later.
