Reviews

  • McAfee Internet Security 2009

    Once it's up and running, McAfee Internet Security 2009 is competitive with Norton on speed, detection, and removal of malicious software.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2009

    You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.

  • Norton Internet Security 2009

    Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.

  • ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009

    ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 provides top-notch security protection that is light on system resources, allowing you to work unencumbered.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008

    McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools.

  • McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008

    McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product doesn't excel, burdened by a user experience that's basically unchanged from last year.

  • CA Anti-Virus Plus CA Anti-Spyware 2008

    CA Anti-Virus Plus CA Anti-Spyware 2008 holds the middle ground this year, featuring faster code but lacking any compelling "must-have" features.
