Norton AntiVirus 2007
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 continues to outshine its competition with its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6 is light and fast and consistently wins detection awards against the competition; it's worthy of our Editors' Choice designation.
McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007
Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customer support lacking.
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.
Laplink PCDefense
As a security app, Laplink PCDefense needs a thorough interface overhaul and perhaps a rethink about its purpose before we can recommend it.
Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home Edition
Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection.
AVG Internet Security 8.0
AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.
BitDefender Antivirus 2008
BitDefender Antivirus 2008 has greatly improved since last year; we'd like more access to configuration options beyond simple enabling and disabling features.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5
In the boldest security-software move we've seen, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 has partnered with an identity management solutions provider to provide both offline and online identity-theft protection, making this suite well worth the price.
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.
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007
Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.
System Mechanic 7 Professional
System Mechanic 7 Professional goes beyond its original greatness, morphing a system utility suite into a kind of grand security suite. As such, it comes up short.
