Another thread asking about best AV, yet the answer is always the same: MSE is simply the best free protection you can get for your computer.

internet security is the full suite of products. firewall, virus protection, antimalware (this covers spyware and adware), rootkit protection as well.

antivirus, viruses are few and far between, it is now malware that is the concern. Malware has taken place of viruses for the most part.

antimalware protects you from spyware and adware. basically stuff you don't want on your computer. it slows it down, takes information from you and gives it to bad people

firewall stops your computer from unauthorized communication, many times this backfires because the average user doesn't understand what it is asking and allows everything through or doesn't allow enough through. It is the biggest double edged sword to the computer novice..they don't understand it.

Read best antivirus thread.
