- Avira AntiVir Personal 8
- Avira's AntiVir Personal 8 comes highly rated by independent third-party antivirus experts, so we were eager to compare it with other antivirus products.

- Norton AntiVirus 2009
- Symantec has been listening to its users, and this year the company delivers a slimmed-down and faster Norton Antivirus 2009.
