CA Antivirus 2007

CA Antivirus 2007 provides a good antivirus engine, adequately protecting your desktop from basic malicious viruses and worms, despite a few interface glitches.

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

McAfee Wireless Protection

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