  • F-Secure Internet Security 2006

    F-Secure Internet Security 2006 provides reliable protection against viruses, spam and other online menaces. Although its spyware defence needs work, F-Secure is a steadfast defender and a solid, affordable choice for newcomers.

  • AVG Internet Security 8.0

    AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008
