There are many things that parents want to know about for their home computing experience, from security to viruses to filtering to recommendations. We'll try to provide access to some of those things here. We do not sell, endorse, or recommend any one product, merely provide this is a partial list of possible solutions we are familiar with. Firewall information If you have high speed internet (cable modem or DSL), you really need a firewall of some sort. There are many to chose from, with various features, but generally the easiest ones are the small hardware firewalls. Several examples are here from D-Link and Linksys, and can generally be purchased for under $50 (if you watch the sales). Anti-Virus Information There are an average of some 8 new Windows viruses a day, so you need to protect yourself with some sort of anti-virus. There are many out there, some better than others, and of course varying price tags.
Anti-Spyware Information While antivirus programs protect you from viruses, anti-spyware programs protect you from adware and spyware - things that can steal your identity.
