| BitDefender Antivirus 2009
BitDefender Antivirus 2009 was all that we expected it to be. Although installation did take a little longer than we anticipated but it was not overly burdensome. It provides users with enough options to satisfy advanced users while at the same time is simple enough that it can be used right after install with no configuration required. As far as its ability to protect it did manage to catch numerous threats on our computer and prevented several more from even making it onto our PC.
- Instant Message Encryption
- Variable Power Settings
- Network Protection
Customer service for this product is better than most. All the questions that we had were answered in timely and in polite manners. The only facet that we felt was a letdown was the knowledge base which, to us, seemed to be very short on the amount of information available. | |

CA Anti-Virus Plus 2009
CA Anti-Virus Plus 2009 gives computer users the ability to protect their computers from not only viruses but also from spyware and other related threats. Overall the this program installed well, though it does seem to cause a little bit of lag. We did, however, feel that it is a good trade off for having some form of virus and spyware protection. This software seems more than capable of handling most threats to a user's computer.
- Virus and Spyware Protection
- Automatic Updating
- Custom Scanning
Our experience with the customer service aspect of this program was, for the most part, a satisfying one. We appreciated the easy to use FAQ pages and the prompt responses that we received from our on-line tech chat and email queries. But, we did take exception to the fact that phone support does cost money.

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009
McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 is a solid contender in the anti-virus market. Its ability to find and remove threats was definitely above par. It turned out to be one of the better products that we came across.
- Web Page Safety Ratings
- Fast Scanning
- Firewall Protection
McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 also shines in the area of providing extra perks to the user. This is evidenced by the file shredding utility as well as the personal firewall that comes with the program. Customer support, while not entirely comprehensive, does seem to be able to help with most any problems that may be encountered by the casual user. In this sense the service is fairly good, despite the inability to make phone contact right away.

Norton Antivirus 2009
Norton AntiVirus 2009 has improved by leaps and bounds in regards to the options and functionality of their software. We really did appreciate the smaller program size and the increase in the number of features presented. We also were impressed with the ability of this program to catch and eliminate a large variety of computer threats. On the down side we tend to think that the user interface while familiar and easy to use could use a new look to go along with the improved software.
- Updates Via Pulse Technology
- Automatic Scans
- Smart Scanning
As far as customer service is concerned we were happy to see the free phone support was available with this version but were disappointed with the quality of the responses that were given. We also took exception with the on-line FAQ that seems to be a bit scary itself given the amount of data that is present. Ultimately, there is a lot of work to be done by Norton to bring this aspect up to par with its competition.
