- Panda Internet Security 2009
- Panda continually reinvents itself. This year it got it right. Not only does the Internet Security suite look better, but it runs better, too, as evidenced by results from CNET Labs and third-party testing.

- Eset Smart Security 3
- Although it includes personal firewall, antispam, antispyware in addition to antivirus protection, Eset Smart Security doesn't necessarily compare one-to-one with the Internet Security suites we reviewed this year. However, it is clearly designed to be something more than just Eset's antivirus product: NOD32 already provides that. In performance and effectiveness...

- Kaspersky Internet Security 2009
- We were disappointed with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009. While there are significant improvements to the anti-malicious-software engine in Kaspersky Internet Security 2009--it is faster--we only saw evidence of that during the file scan test. In our application and boot tests, the numbers were actually worse than last year. This highlights...

- In close First Amendment case, Virginia court upholds spammer conviction
- What do geeks hate more than free speech restrictions? Spammers! Thus, anti-spam laws are an interesting collision. Spamming is clearly speech -- albeit commercial speech.
