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.
