[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 907148, member: 19756"] Yes. I was thinking of just getting Internet Security because I don't think I'll be needing the adaptive security features and the ones for kids, passwords, and backups found in the others, but the cost is around $80 for six devices, and I think the price is introductory, which means it goes up the ff. year. It's like buying a new hard drive yearly. My other problem is that I'm the only one who's an experienced computer user. A second knows something and the other four novices. That means I had to minimize annoyances like UACs and being called all the time if something needs to be installed, so even a third-party firewall with simple default-deny makes things complicated for me. For example, if one app is updated, then the firewall might ask if some new module that's installed should be given permission, and a novice user might end up disabling access by default. That's why only my PC has Firewall Control; for the rest, I had to settle for Firewall App Blocker, a small program that makes it easy to add apps to block in the Windows Firewall, i.e., at least to stop some programs from phoning home even if auto updating is disabled. I might attempt trying a free firewall with different modes (like learning), but I don't know which ones will work well with KSC. In any event, I hope this is good enough for free options. [/QUOTE]
