- 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. While we can't complain about its high level of protection, there were several nitpicks about the application itself that set us back. For one thing, you pay...

- Microsoft give students the finger, once again
- Microsoft give students the finger, once againHere`s my takeI have a theory that explains why MS did that.1. Windows Vista and the currently circulating build of Windows 7 have Windows Defender as a bundled application. It is a pure antispyware product.

- 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...

- Despite winning our Editors' Choice award two years in a row, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 did not impress us enough to extend that run another year.

- AVG Antivirus 8
- The biggest news with AVG Anti-Virus 8 is that it includes Linkscanner, a technology that actively blocks malicious content from Web sites that may have been hijacked or otherwise compromised. Also, antivirus, antispyware, and antirootkit preventions have been combined into one product. The new drive-by download protection combined with AVG's...
