Reviews

  • AVG Internet Security 8.0

    AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.

  • CA Internet Security Suite 2007

    CA Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a pasted-together trial version of what CA offers in terms of consumer protection. The suite fails to integrate and lacks antiphishing, antirootkit, and basic IM protection found elsewhere.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

    Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

  • McAfee Wireless Protection

    McAfee Wireless Protection makes more sense as part of the McAfee Total Protection suite than as a stand-alone application.

  • 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.

  • Norton Internet Security 2005

    There's little new in Norton Internet Security for upgraders, and newbies can do much better with ZoneAlarm Security Suite.

  • Trend Micro PcCillin Internet Security 2005

    Trend Micro's PC-cillin Internet Security is an excellent all-in-one antivirus/firewall solution that won't break the bank.
