BitDefender Antivirus 10

BitDefender Antivirus 10 is a solid antivirus and antispyware solution, offering two-year subscriptions for the price of one elsewhere; however, it could be faster, offer built-in help, and uninstall better.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006

    McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 packs a powerful protection arsenal -- but it's far too slow. Loyal McAfee users should upgrade for the automatic spyware and phishing blockers, but the rest of us should seek security elsewhere, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2005

    Although ZoneAlarm's personal security tools are better overall, McAfee Internet Security 2005 offers richer, more configurable tools than Norton.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2005

    Norton adds worm protection to Norton AntiVirus 2005, but for the price, the company should have added a full firewall instead.

  • McAfee VirusScan Home 9.0

    Improved customer support and spyware detection once again make McAfee VirusScan a contender, but new users should opt for a combined antivirus and firewall package instead.

  • eTrust EZ Antivirus 2005 (6.2)

    If you're concerned about taxing your system resources with antivirus scans, give eTrust EZ Antivirus a try.

  • Smaller, more agile security software gets it right

    I have an evolving theory that the best software today is coming from newer and more agile companies.
