Norton 360
Reviewed on February 26, 2007
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.

McAfee Total Protection
Reviewed on February 27, 2007
McAfee Total Protection feels like a grab bag of security and performance tools without any clear focus, which will likely frustrate the average user.

Windows Live OneCare
Reviewed on February 26, 2007
Windows Live OneCare doesn't provide as many unique features and often repackages tools already available for free within the Windows operating system. For $30 more, it's well worth investing in the solutions from McAfee or Symantec, and we give the final nod to Norton 360 which ensures the best protection and performance tools for your money.

Norton Internet Security 2008
Reviewed on November 28, 2007
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.

BitDefender Antivirus 10
Reviewed on November 1, 2006
BitDefender Antivirus 10 is a solid antivirus and antispyware solution, offering two-year subscriptions for the price of one elsewhere; however, it could be faster, offer built-in help, and uninstall better.

CA Antivirus 2007
Reviewed on November 15, 2006
CA Antivirus 2007 provides a good antivirus engine, adequately protecting your desktop from basic malicious viruses and worms. But the application has a few interface glitches and provides less-than-optimal technical support.

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.

McAfee Internet Security Suite
Reviewed on January 17, 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.
