The State of PC Security

The State of PC Security

The latest in user security metrics shows that only five percent of surveyed systems were fully up to date, with all applications patched and running the latest versions.

Protecting your PCs from online threats isn't as simple or inexpensive as it once was. There's no one piece of software that will protect your system from the various Internet-borne threats it might come in contact with on a daily basis. Another important thing for security professionals to keep firmly in mind is that, quite often, the best solution is not the most secure one.

In our latest eBook,The State of PC Security, Internet.com's security experts take a look at today's most popular operating systems to see what PC users can do to make their computing experience safe from online threats.

Topics include:

  • Which is More Secure, Leopard or Vista?
  • Mac vs. Linux: Which is More Secure?
  • Linux vs. Windows: Which is Most Secure?
  • Survey: Most PCs Are Running Out-Of-Date Software
  • We Need to Rethink PC Security Software, and more.
