    Internet Security only protects the problems created by the use of the internet. A virus is on the whole computer whether we use internet or not. We should use Virus Protection. So, our full System mat is Protected.

    1) The Windows 10 built-in anti-virus is fine and avoids conflicts.

    2) And, add Malwarebytes (free version is ok, paid better).

    Hi,

    Antivirus protects the computer from viruses, whereas, Internet Security suite protects the system from spyware, spam, computer worms, viruses, and other advanced malware. ... Antivirus provides the necessary protection, whereas, Internet Security provides protection against Internet threats.

    Internet Security encompasses a broader range of protection than an antivirus, making it the better option. Norton Security is a great choice for internet security, allowing for quick toggling of protection.

    When it comes to choosing between antivirus software and internet security software, it's important to understand the difference between the two. Antivirus software is designed to protect your device from malware and viruses, while internet security software provides additional protection for online activity, such as firewall protection and phishing detection.

    As a local SEO agency we understand the importance of keeping your device secure from online threats. In terms of antivirus software, Avast and Norton are both reliable options that offer comprehensive protection against viruses and malware. If you're looking for internet security software, Kaspersky and Bitdefender are two options that provide robust protection against online threats.

    Most antivirus and internet security software allow you to disable the program at any time, though it's important to exercise caution when doing so, as it can leave your device vulnerable to threats.

    We hope this information helps you make an informed decision about which software is best for your needs. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
