What is meant by total internet security?

Total Defense Internet Security Suite is one of the internet security suites that passed the VB100 certification test in October 2012 when it earned a 2012 Global Excellence Award in the Anti-Malware, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam Software categories by Info Security Products Guide. Total Defense also achieved 2012 certifications from West Coast Labs and ISCA Labs.

Test results aside, Total Defense Internet Security Suite does provide a full security suite. This software includes parental controls, a firewall, antispam, antiphishing, network protection, and antivirus detection and removal. It also includes additional useful tools such as incremental backup, data migration and identity protection. The parental controls are particularly easy to use.
