Review summary |
Glitches within the interface and poor scanning and removal performance lead us not to recommend CA Anti-Spyware 2007 despite its three-user license.
|
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
|
Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection.
|
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 continues to outshine its competition with its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection.
|
AVG Anti-Virus 8 is solid at finding and removing viruses and spyware as well as blocking Web threats, but could be lighter on system resources and provide more technical support options.
