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.

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

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.
Norton 360

For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.
Norton Internet Security 2007

Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
