Zone Alarm Extreme Security 2010
Reviewed on October 8, 2009
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 isn't necessarily the best suite around, but it's definitely effective and should appeal to those who like making granular adjustments to their protection.

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
Reviewed on March 1, 2007
Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2007 is a modest product, with its weak antivirus protection balanced by its superior antispyware protection, but it offers nowhere near the overall protection and value of other antivirus products we've seen.

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.
