PC Tools Internet Security 2010

We're big fans of PC Tools Internet Security's ThreatFire component, and the overall toolset that PC Tools provides is robust, but the suite could be both faster and easier to use.

Norton Internet Security 2010

Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition 8.0

The Anniversary Edition continues the publisher's tradition of adroitly addressing user concerns, but is still not quite perfect.
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.
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.
Ad-Aware 2007

Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2007 came in dead last in our CNET antispyware testing. Ad-Aware failed to detect half of the test spyware, and unlike nine out of the 10 other antispyware apps we reviewed in December 2007, left behind traces for all but one spyware.
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.
Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home Edition

Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection.
