Broadband net users in the UK who are worried that their PCs could be subverted by malicious hackers can now let anti-virus companies keep an eye on their machines for them.
Security company McAfee has launched a subscription service that uses the web to protect a PC against viruses and attacks by computer vandals.
For a monthly fee, subscribers get anti-virus software and a firewall designed to keep personal information on a PC secure.
Research commissioned by McAfee has revealed that many net users are not doing enough to protect themselves against the most common types of attacks.
