Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.2 with Antivirus
Reviewed on November 1, 2006
Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.2 is the first antispyware application to add antivirus protection, but that protection isn't complete. Upgrade to or buy the antispyware-only edition, not the antivirus edition.

Zone Alarm Extreme Security 2010

Trend Micro Internet Security 2010
Reviewed on August 28, 2009
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.

Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2007

CA Internet Security Suite 2007
Reviewed on March 2, 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.
