Information needed on defender proportionality and suitability

Internet security and an antivirus program are almost the same in terms of purpose, they both help protect the system from unwanted attacks and malwares that might penetrate the computer.

But internet security offers more functionality and security compared to an antivirus program.

An antivirus is only limited to detecting, monitoring, and removing different malwares from the system. It monitors the behavior of all the applications in the computer. It also offers spyware detection and blocks online attacks.

An internet security has more features. It is also capable of detecting, monitoring, and removing virus from the system. It monitors all the processes on the computer and analyzes different application behaviors.

It also has spyware detection. And this is the best part, it monitors the computer’s firewall including the inbound and outbound connection of the machine.

It can easily block different outside attacks.
