  • Trend Micro Internet Security 2010 Reviewed on 08/28/09

    Trend Micro Internet Security 2010

    Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but its questionable efficacy and middling performance make it a program we're not recommending.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2009 Reviewed on 10/10/08

    Norton AntiVirus 2009

    Norton AntiVirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.

  • F-Secure Internet Security 2009 Reviewed on 10/08/08

    F-Secure Internet Security 2009

    While offering roughly the same features and performance as its competition, F-Secure Internet Security 2009 is about $20 too expensive.

  • Norton 360 2.0 Reviewed on 03/03/08

    Norton 360 2.0

    A near-perfect all-in-one solution for brand new PCs, Norton 360 v2 may be hard to install and run on legacy machines. However, don't count on Symantec's time-consuming and expensive technical support for help.

  • ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 7.1 Reviewed on 02/01/08

    ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 7.1

    At $20, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is one of the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, offers more features than other similar products, and remains one of the best.

    Specs: 1 user, Complete package, 7.1, Windows

  • Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 Reviewed on 12/17/07

    Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5

    Although Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 scored well in CNET tests, it installs the Ask.com toolbar, which seems odd for antispyware product to do.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008 Reviewed on 11/28/07

    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 the program could use fewer system resources. We can also do without the addition of paid services within the technical support section.

    Specs: 3 users, Complete package, Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, 300 MHz or higher, 300 MHz, CD-ROM, 300 MHz or higher, 300 MHz, Windows

  • Panda Antivirus 2008 Reviewed on 10/12/07

    Panda Antivirus 2008

    Panda Antivirus 2008 is slower than the competition and lacks independent, third-party antivirus test results, and thus doesn't receive our recommendation.

    Specs: 3 PCs, Complete package, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP 64-bit Edition, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit versions), 150 MHz, CD-ROM, 150 MHz, Windows, Internet Explorer 6.0

  • Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware Reviewed on 09/20/07

    Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware

    Norton AntiVirus 2008 didn't wow us this year. While the protection is solid, the user experience could be much, much better, and the product itself could be more streamlined. Also we can do without the addition of paid services in the technical support section.

    Specs: 1 user, Complete package, Microsoft Windows Vista Business, Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic, Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2, Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, 300 MHz or higher, 300 MHz, CD-ROM, 300 MHz or higher, 300 MHz, Windows

  • CA Internet Security Suite 2007 Reviewed on 03/02/07

    CA Internet Security Suite 2007

    CA Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a pasted-together trial version of what CA offers in terms of consumer protection. The suite fails to integrate and lacks antiphishing, antirootkit, and basic IM protection found elsewhere.

    Specs: 1 user, Complete package, 300 MHz Intel Pentium, CD-ROM, 300 MHz Intel Pentium

  • Norton 360 Reviewed on 02/26/07

    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. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007 Reviewed on 01/16/07

    Norton Internet Security 2007

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

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 Reviewed on 11/02/05

    McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006

    McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 packs a powerful protection arsenal--but it's far too slow. Loyal McAfee users should upgrade for the automatic spyware and phishing blockers, but the rest of us should seek security elsewhere, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.

    Specs: 1 user, Complete package, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, 133 MHz, 150 MHz, 300 MHz, 8.0, CD-ROM, 133 MHz, 150 MHz, 300 MHz, Windows, Internet Explorer 5.5 or later

    Norton AntiSpam 2005

    While Norton's AntiSpam 2005 seamlessly integrates into Microsoft's e-mail clients, it has performance issues. And it's neither as easy to use nor as accurate as MailFrontier Desktop.

  • ZoneAlarm Pro 4 Reviewed on 11/25/03

    ZoneAlarm Pro 4

    ZoneAlarm Pro 4.5 is a great firewall for security rookies, but you'll still need a separate antivirus program.
