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.

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.
