Norton 360 2.0
Reviewed on March 3, 2008
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.

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.

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.

Norton Antivirus 2008 with Antispyware
Reviewed on September 20, 2007
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.

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.

System Mechanic 7 Professional
Reviewed on May 4, 2007
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 and cannot be recommended.

Norton SystemWorks 2006 Premier
Reviewed on March 14, 2006
The core utilities in Norton SystemWorks 2006 Premier lack newer options found elsewhere; some older utilities are simply deficient; it leaves Windows 98 and Me users out in the cold.

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.
