Reviews

  • 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.

  • HTC Shift

    HTC's Shift is yet another UMPC — and another white elephant to add to the pile.

  • 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.

  • 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.
