Pop-up Blocker and Web filter
If you are already using Internet explorer 8 than there should be a pop-up blocker already installed within this software for free. Since I already have choosen to install Norton 360; this software comes with a pop-up blocker and a web filter integrated into the software. This software costs around $50 a year. I have explained through previous blogs why I have choosen this software over others. Mcafee also offers their own version of a web-filter and pop-up blocker seperate from their main virus protection software. This costs around $30 a year and I didn't choose this because it is not integrated with their main virus protection, which in-turn drives up the cost of the overall software protection. Norton protects against all possible phishing and mal-ware that could possibly harm your computer, really both of these softwares do. it regualry updates itself allowing the user to protect the PC from new forms of malware and spyware and other types that can slow the processing of information on the pc when useing the internet. Norton also offers the use of form-fill when ordering products on-line. which i like alot. They also offer a security to block people from accesing personal and financial information off your PC.

Web Filter and spam/phishing protection are not the same thing.
