What is your most valuable possession? Your car? Your house? Or is it the plethora of information you store on your computer? Now, what would you do if you lost your car? Buy a new one. What if you lost all of the data on your computer? Disaster...plain and simple. We keep so much of ourselves on this small appliance, but many of us aren't even protecting that information from viruses and other computer-killing nastiness. This year for the holidays, give the gift of safety to someone with a computer.

My Take
I had expensive anti-virus protection on my computer before reviewing Immunet, but it takes up so much space on my computer, and I have no idea if and when it actually updates itself. Immunet not only identifies viruses in real-time and continually delivers anti-virus protection via an Internet connection, but it is up to 35 times lighter than traditional anti-virus software (which can take up between 100 and 350 megabytes of disk space and causes performance slowdowns). In contrast, Immunet uses only 10 megabytes of space, to keep PCs running at optimal speeds.

I love how you can download Immunet for free with an option to upgrade to the "Plus" version for less than half of what other anti-virus software costs. Also great is the fact that it takes up so little space on my computer and actually works with my existing anti-virus software (should I decide to keep it). Traditional anti-virus solutions generally only find about 50% of the viruses that are out there, so it gives me peace of mind to have an extra layer of protection on my computer. Immunet also uses "Collective Immunity" technology. This means that when Immunet detects a threat on one user's PC, that threat is blocked from harming all users in the Immunet Community simultaneously, giving all Immunet users shared immunity against computer viruses. You can also invite your friends to become a part of the Immunet Community, and everyone benefits from the protection.

Cost: Immunet Protect is free, but you can upgrade to Immunet Protect Plus for one year for $19.99. ($$)

Overall: We give Immunet a 10/10!
