Abstract
A convenient and low cost computer security system deploys a menu of security tools within a local network that can be selected by a user connected to the network. A network architecture of the invention is structured to provide highly effective and flexible security features while greatly simplifying the user experience. Separate security service pathways provide different combinations of security service features and traffic from each user is directed to a pathway providing the desired features.
