  • Norton Internet Security 2010

    Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.

  • Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010

    Going by older detection and removal numbers, Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware offers competent if basic security protection. However, so do many free competitors. This year, we recommend giving Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 a pass.

  • Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010

    Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but questionable efficacy and middling performance mean it's a program we're not recommending for this year.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

    Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008

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

  • Outward bound with Vista's new firewall

    Microsoft is promising that in Windows Vista all inbound connections will be blocked by default, whereas all outbound connections will be allowed by default, other than by exception. What does that mean? Well, it's less than you might think.
