- Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2007
- After years of beefing up its Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security suite by adding security tools beyond basic antivirus solution, Trend Micro has finally released a standalone antivirus-and-antispyware application, Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2007. It's debatable whether there's a real need for a standalone antivirus app for the desktop...

- CA Internet Security Suite 2009
- CA Internet Security Suite 2009 will probably have some admirers, but we're not among them. If you are a network administrator, you'll appreciate the long and torturous installation path; however, the average person will grow frustrated at how many times you have to enter your personal information, create passwords, or...

- Norton 360 v2
- When we last saw Norton 360, we were very impressed, mostly because it was such a radical departure from the other offerings by Symantec's consumer division. However, in the year since that review, our impression changed. Readers without the latest hardware reported serious installation and backup problems, some of which...

- Spyware Doctor 5.1
- The latest release of PCTools Spyware Doctor 5.x addresses a number of nettlesome software glitches we experienced with version 5.0. In testing on version 5.1 done by CNET labs, Spyware Doctor did proactively shield us from test spyware in seven out of ten test cases, but it failed...

- Ad-Aware 2007
- Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2007 came in dead last in our CNET antispyware testing. Other than sporting a new interface, this long-awaited update doesn't feel much different than earlier versions. What cripples this release most is that Ad-Aware failed to detect half of the test spyware, either actively or on demand, and,...

- Windows Defender (version 1593)
- Microsoft Windows Defender is perhaps the best free antispyware application we looked at this year, but we disagree with Microsoft's aggressive need to verify our Windows license--not once but twice--before allowing us the opportunity to download and install Windows Defender. Given that it's a free app, we would prefer that...

- Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.0
- In its first appearance, CounterSpy was the only antispyware product that correctly identified every piece of spyware in our current active-detection test. It did very well in active scanning, on-demand detection, and complete spyware removal. We also like its overall look and feel. CounterSpy also costs less than the competition...

- McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008 - complete package
- At first glance, McAfee Internet Security 2008 appears not much different from last year's offering. But with a decisive change in the competitive landscape (i.e. Symantec's skip and stumble), McAfee's suite comes out looking much better this year. Whereas McAfee VirusScan 2008 looks and feels like warmed-over last year's product,...

- CA Anti-Virus Plus CA Anti-Spyware 2008
- CA Anti-Virus Plus CA Anti-Spyware 2008 holds the middle ground, neither improving nor declining with this year's offering. The code is leaner, resulting in faster scans; however, there are too few features here to warrant much excitement. Also, this is the only antivirus product we tested that attempted to download...

- BitDefender Antivirus 2008 is perhaps the most improved of the antivirus applications we've seen so far this year. It is fast and light, and like Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7, our current Editor's Choice winner, BitDefender Antivirus 2008 offers hourly updates. However, we'd like more access to configuration options beyond simple enabling...
