Reviews

  • 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.

  • BitDefender Antivirus 2008

    BitDefender Antivirus 2008 has greatly improved since last year; we'd like more access to configuration options beyond simple enabling and disabling features.

  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 continues to outshine its competition with its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2008

    As we await final code and therefore test results on the overall performance of this year's version of Norton AntiVirus, the new interface and features alone do not suggest an automatic KO in our latest antivirus roundup of 2008 products.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2007

    By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
