F-Secure has a fairly robust suite of security apps. Check the reviews.
I would like some protection on my laptop.
use a firewall on your computer.
set your security software to update automatically
Keep a budget!
Sometimes people I know send me e-mail that looks questionable, since they usually contain one sentence and end with Click Here. Instead of clicking on a potentially bad link, I’ll e-mail them and ask them if the suspicious e-mail really came from them. I also mention that I won’t click a funny link in an e-mail unless they write something to let me know that it’s really from them. It may be a bit paranoid, but it’s worked for me.
Don’t surf naked. It amazes me how many people go without virus protection/firewalls. Even though cost is so low compared to effects of not having.
I agree abou not being repared. As in life you need to be prepared. This is one way to help.
Always use virus protection!
I really need protection for my computer. This would be a great prize to win.
I am so happy to see this giveaway. I need a computer security program. Always backup your data. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love being protected. I would like to try new products. I am using the free products but would like to try other products.
I keep a plastic baggie by my computer to put receipts into as a way to keep them neat and all in one place.

Never enter any sort of personal information, or account information, unless you have some sort of virus protection software on your computer.
I really need some protection I didnt renew Norton because Im fedup with it
I would like some protection for my laptop. Thanks.
Use a non-windows platform for surfing unknown sites when possible. Type URLs in rather than blithely clicking links to sites you are planning to enter sensitive data.
set your security software to update automatically
Be careful about email that looks like the real deal. Always best to type in your bank address in toolbar than take a chance
Always backup your data. Thanks for the chance to win.
Have your security software set to automatically update
Great idea!
Nice contest. Thanks.
I had problems with my laptop’s processor overheating in the past. Since I purchased a USB powered laptop fan you can get a most department stores, this has helped the problem, and saves the life of the computer
We just got a laptop with our tax refund – now need something to protect it.
Keep your anti-virus updated.
entry for friday.
Protect your data, use a firewall program in addition to an antivirus, or use a complete security suite.
set your security software to update automatically
always back-up files to an external source and keep your virus protections updated.

These days, security is a must. Always use updated virus protection and keep back-up files on a separate source. Thanks for the chance to enter – great prize!
With all the scam people on the internet it is foolish not to have some protection- for kids AND adults! An investment that pays off a thousand times over!
If you use tax software online to complete your taxes, double check everything! I used eSmart Tax by Liberty Tax for my 2007 taxes, and the software failed to add in my 1099-misc totals so I underpaid and had to pay a penalty. Reviewing my account, it shows “total must be manually entered,” which is an option I never would have selected. It’s some kind of glitch in the software, and I’m filing to see if they’ll cover the penalties (they have a guarantee), but I don’t know if they’ll insist it was my own fault. I trusted that since I entered all the information, the totals were correct. I learned from that mistake! So, that’s my tip, don’t trust the software!
I try to keep very careful records, especially since I have a business and personal taxes to do!
Have your security software update automatically
Backup and protection are essential, ty! wombatspurple@yahoo.com
Update your virus software often!
Thanks for the giveaway…A simple computer security tip: make your password(s) unique !!!
Love the security system for computer ignorance. Especially MINE!!!!!!!!
To stay out of trouble with the IRS, submit something, anything to them by April 15th.
Always use virus protection!
Remember to update your virus protection regularly.
Do regular scans on your computer to keep it running it’s best :)
You have got to be kidding me… talk about overkill.
I do a weekly scan, it’s sufficient. :)
love the fact that it updates I am always afraid of the new virus out there
