Compare Between Free And Paid Internet Security Software

Comparison between paid and free internet security software has become one of the major topic of discussion recently. Most people think that paid internet security software are effective than free internet security software. But there are a number of computer users who have used both paid and freeware have taken part in this discussion and placed different opinions.

Many people have a misconception that they do not have any other option than using paid internet security software in their computer. But he/she can easily shift to a free one. There are a number of free internet security software such as AVG antivirus and anti-spyware, Avast Home Edition, Comodo Firewall and many more available in the market. These freeware are quite good and you can use it in your computer. Basic features like virus and spyware scanning are available in both paid and freeware. But if you compare you will miss some features such as anti-spam, anti-rootkit, technical support, firewall in the free security software.

Antivirus and anti-spyware which are offered for free are normally designed for private use. But the same creator can also craft paid versions such as AVG Antivirus Pro and AVG internet Security.

A free antivirus or anti-spyware can only scan for virus and spyware. Otherwise if you need any technical help you have to opt for paid internet security software. Now I think you can clearly understand that you may use free or paid internet security software whatever you wish. But it is suggested that while choosing you should select the best antivirus or anti-spyware. Otherwise it may invite further trouble to your computer.

Few More Issues Related To Email

In my previous post I have discussed about email problems which can be detected while it is used as business communication method. Now we will find few more email problems while it is used in to handle the work flow.

Problem with file sharing – If you receive a file through email you may find the directory that allows both sender and receiver to go through the structure of the identical file and the directory is organized badly.

No application structure – Email is mainly used to carry message centric content. It has no idea of a normal structure of sending active application.

Email is platform dependent – There are many people who works for graphic groups in a number of organizations and do not use Microsoft Windows and Outlook. It means that they are deprived of certain activities.

The system of work flow is haphazard – Email is probably not the best drivers of corporate and organizational work flow.

Email which was invented in 1970s has almost changed the face of new age communication within a very short period of time. But it is not dependable enough to manage a large business. There are still some issues related to email which are needed to resolved before it can be used to handle the work flow.

Be aware of the Issues Related To Email

Email has almost changes the face of communication. Now we can communicate with our near and dear ones placed at the different corners of the world whenever we want. Email which was invented in 1970’s by some university researchers and professors has become an essential for business as well as individuals. 

Unfortunately, a number of email problems can be found when it is used as the method of business communication.

Email is not secure – Sending any type of confidential, personal documents, be it individual or business via email are not secure. The system administrator, if wants, can easily check and reveal your personal documents. 

It is too open – Every day our mailboxes become over flooded with lots of junk mails. This problem cannot be solved in spite of designing the email filters in the best possible way.  

Email can be harmful – An email does not carry a seal of authenticity from the sender. Therefore, there is a high chance of getting virus infection through this infection. For example, in Microsoft Outlook a simple click on an email can invite virus infection in your computer. 

Mail delivery is not guaranteed – There is no guarantee in delivery of an email. Like postal mail you cannot expect guaranteed delivery of your mail. 

Email is not real time – Active conversation sometime gets delayed in email. That is why instant messaging solution in spite of having lots of security loopholes has become the most preferred choice for many computer users.

Email does not have omnipresent access – Many users find it difficult to access email from every places such as while they are at home or on the road. This is the main reason that works behind the popularity of web-based email recently.
