If you're the family IT guy, I recommend you install a Yoggie Gatekeeper. This credit-card-sized gizmo (designed for mobile protection of road warrior laptops) can be inserted between your router and LAN switch to protect all downstream PCs in your home from just about any kind of attack. You don't have to install security software at each PC, and you can set the security settings for each PC centrally, so your 7-year old can't bypass the filters (don't get me started). By vesting the security functions in a separate processor the way that enterprises do, your network is much safer from exploits (in fact Yoggie won the Innovation Station competition at RSA this year). But more importantly, the out-of-box experience is iPod-like, and the whole installation takes less than 5 minutes unless you gawk for too long.This is not a plug for a Bessemer portfolio company, but I do happen to know the CEO Shlomo Touboul, because he founded Finjan. In fact, years after Shlomo first left Finjan, I recruited him back as CEO. (Contrary to what some bloggers tell you, not all VC's want to get rid of the founders.)
