Vipre Antivirus + Spyware
Anti virus software reviews from experts and users all agreed that Sunbelt Software’s Vipre offers fast, light security tools and effective, secure detection and removal of infection and spyware. It has a simple, clean user interface, speedy and accurate scanning engines, and best of all it won’t clog your system. It also comes with a host of extras like a secure file eraser, an advanced history cleaner and a tool called PC Explorer that shows you what services and processes are running on your PC that are malicious or suspect. The only thing missing is a firewall, so you will need to have your own.
Norton AntiVirus 2010
Symantec has always had a good reputation for spot-on detection and removal of viruses and malware, but often that protection came with a huge footprint on your PC. With this latest version, Symantec has finally balanced protection and performance. A new behavioral detection system responds faster to mutating threats and keeps an eye out for viruses that may be hibernating on your system. Installation and scans are quite fast, and overall this basic anti virus software will not overload your CPU…this is something that has been an issue with Norton in the past and was certainly in need of improvement
Trend Micro Internet Security 2009
Anti virus software reviews rate this basic, bare bones Internet Security suite from Trend Micro as good for overall performance and price. It is fast and light, and includes virus, spam, spyware and phishing protection as well as a two-way firewall and built-in parental controls. The home network feature enables you to use the software on up to two additional PC’s. Trend Micro also has a pro version that includes full home networking and mobile protection.
Panda Internet Security 2009
Panda offers virus, spam and identity protection, safe surfing control, and customizable parental controls with preset office, teenager and kid filters. The personal firewall allows you to keep an eye on specific services as they access the internet. Anti virus software reviews score Panda highly at detection and removal of malware and spyware, and performs quickly. The only issue that has been found is the technical support, with definite improvements needed in their online documentation and knowledgebase.
Avira AntiVir Personal Edition Premium
AntiVir scores well overall in anti virus software reviews, and has been a consistent performer in various independent anti virus software tests. This simple program has a very small footprint on your CPU, and it is very user friendly. In addition to virus protection, it also includes some anti-phishing and spyware protection. It is fast and light…the only issue, at least for North American users, is that there is no support for the software outside of Europe.
