Reviews

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007

    Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 was hard to install and produced several noticeable glitches that distracted us from the benefits of the suite.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.

  • Windows Live OneCare

    Windows Live OneCare is the first of many managed online security services to debut this year.

  • McAfee Antispyware 2006

    McAfee AntiSpyware 2006 is a good antispyware choice if you're already using the other parts of McAfee's security suite.

  • Laplink PCDefense

    As a security app, Laplink PCDefense needs a thorough interface overhaul and perhaps a rethink about its purpose before we can recommend it.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 6

    Kaspersky Internet Security 6 provides thorough protection against online threats, but ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 remains a better buy.

  • CA eTrust EZ Antivirus 7.1

    eTrust EZ Antivirus 7.1 is a dependable antiviral crusader that's worth a look only if you're already running antispyware and firewall software.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2006

    PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 has a few shortcomings, but overall it's an affordable and feature-packed security suite that reliably defends against online threats.
