Have you ever asked yourself, "Why should I be concerned about Internet Security?" If you haven't you really should. Now answer these quick questions:

• Do I have children that use the Internet?
• Do I have multiple users I'm concerned about?
• Do I have a Cable or DSL connection?
• Do I use the Internet for shopping?
• Do I have personal information on my machine?
• Do I use email and Instant Messaging?
• Do I have personal information stored on my machine?

Now if you answered 'yes' to one or more of these questions then you have a reason to be concerned about Internet Security. In fact, the more times you answered yes the more need you have for improved security.

And if your one of the many people who take advantage of today's super fast internet connections, in particular if you have an Internet connection that is online 24 hours a day or if you have children that access the Internet while you're not around. In these cases, you will need Internet protection 24 hours a day. Here's a list of what we consider to be important needs:

• Protection from viruses, hackers, and privacy threats

• Privacy Control to keep personal information private
• Parental Control to keep your kids safe while browsing
