Looking for a VPN(not free)

[CloudWatcher]

10. Not really

If you're talking about keeping malware and viruses off your machine, using a VPN doesn't really help.

A VPN service basically hides the internet address of your computer, so the computers you connect to can't tell where you are coming from. They see that your traffic comes from the VPN server ... instead of from your actual network address.

Using a VPN service also encrypts the traffic between your computer and the VPN server. If you're only using modern web servers that are already encrypting traffic, this doesn't mean much. But if you are communicating with some old/neglected servers that don't use "https" ... then using VPN will add a little bit of security.

Bottom line is that using VPNs adds privacy and anonymity but is not a replacement for anti-malware and anti-virus software.

And the biggest danger is from clicking on links you get in email, or accepting that offer to update your flash player from any site other than Adobe :/
