But there are also a few things that aren’t that good about it:
Cons:
PRODUCT RATED: 3/5
Verdict
Emsisoft Internet Security 12 is a solid security product that’s more than capable of protecting you against any offline or online threats. In this security suite, you get a highly efficient antivirus engine, a good web shield, and a decent firewall. All this is nicely packaged in a good looking and easy to use user interface that you’ll surely like. Before making a purchasing choice, you should also take into consideration that the firewall is not that great when you use private networks and that you should be careful to manually clean all the removable drives you work with. Last but not least, you should be informed about the fact that Emsisoft Internet Security 12 doesn’t include any extra tools like parental controls or a VPN service. This “bloat-free” approach will attract some people, but it will also not please others. From our point of view, Emsisoft Internet Security 12 is a solid security product that you should consider, especially if you want a simple, basic approach to security that works well.

Pros:
Emsisoft Internet Security 12 has a number of good things about it:
- Its antivirus engine is very good at detecting and removing malware from your computer
- The web shield is very efficient and won’t let you get near any dangerous website, regardless of the web browser that you use
- The firewall module does a very good job at protecting you when using public networks
- The user interface looks good and its design makes it very easy to use by anyone, on any kind of device, including devices with touch
- Emsisoft Internet Security 12 has almost no negative effect on your computer’s performance
But there are also a few things that aren’t that good about it:
Cons:
- The antivirus doesn’t have a proactive approach when it comes to removable drives
- Having to manually scan such drives in order to clean them isn’t the best way to protect you
- The firewall module is only average in effectiveness when connected to private networks
- There are no additional tools included, neither good nor bad ones
PRODUCT RATED: 3/5
