Gone are the days when our PC was the only way to connect to the world around us. Now smartphones, tablets and wearables are all connected to the web, and exchanging information throughout the day. As such, a conventional Internet Security package is not going to cut. Luckily though, five TechSmart readers have the opportunity to better protect themselves, as Panda Security is giving away five copies of its Global Protection 2016 software.

Compatible with Windows PC, Mac OS X, iOS and Android, Global Protection 2016 is a comprehensive cross-platform Antivirus software solution. Valued at R700, it bundles together many of Panda Security's top solutions into one product. Included, for example, is Wi-Fi Protection, Password Manager and File Encryptor for those using Windows PC. If however you tout an iPhone as well, Global Protection 2016 offers iPhone location services, as well as full Antivirus for Mac OS X.

Added to this is Multi-device technical support from Panda Security, along with the peace of mind that comes with the fact that Panda Security has received awards from the likes of Intel, AV Test and Virus Bulletin for the quality of their products.
