Reviews

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7

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

  • Norton PartitionMagic 8

    If you need to partition your live hard drive, Norton PartitionMagic 8 is still the application to beat.

  • Microsoft Windows Defender

    Microsoft Windows Defender is perhaps the best free antispyware application we looked at this year, but it's lacking when compared to brand-name antivirus-plus-antispyware solutions.
