Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but questionable efficacy and middling performance mean it's a program we're not recommending for this year.
-
Avira AntiVir 9
AntiVir 9 doesn't appear to have changed much — but that's only because the interface sports the slightest of what's new. One-click infection removal, rolled-in anti-spyware and other strong security enhancements top the feature list.

The Anniversary Edition continues the publisher's tradition of adroitly addressing user concerns, but is still not quite perfect.
