Not everyone has or wants to spend the money for expensive Internet security suites by Norton, McAfee, or some other developer of protective software. However, it is possible to secure one’s computer without spending a penny. Safe and intelligent browsing practices combined with a hardware router or gateway device with a built in firewall and security features helps quite a bit, but these things are enough. A wide variety of freeware titles are available for download to help one have a safe and fun browsing experience.

The proceeding list of free Internet security software will be updated sporadically as needed. Suggestions for additions should be e-mailed to webmaster@freeinternetsecurity.info.
