1.They say VIPRE is no ordinary antivirus. VIPRE, Sunbelt has managed to pack a mighty blow against viruses, spyware, and all forms of malware in one powerful punch. Not only has VIPRE Antivirus + Antispyware come out of the corner swinging, but they've done it with the grace and expertise consumers demand from antivirus software. It's easy to install, easy to use, and is the lightest running antivirus application we've ever seen.
2.BitDefender Antivirus 2010 proves to be very impressive again this year. They scored very well in every antivirus test we threw against it, with only a few minor deficiencies.
Great real-time protection
Excellent resource usage
Advanced user interface
3.Kaspersky has been a serious antivirus contender for many years now, and this year is no different. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 packs a solid punch against viruses, spyware, adware, and other malware. It's a lean but potent antivirus application that does what it says: protects your PC against virus and malware attacks. And Kaspersky does it well.
4.Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 makes solid improvements this year to its core antivirus software. As one of the few antivirus applications that includes a firewall by default, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 performs well in most areas. Panda maintains a decent record of good real-time protection and an average firewall. Their spyware and adware removal rate wasn't as clean as we'd like to see, but it was still effective. Panda's overall system usage was impressive and very low compared to most other antivirus software we've tested, and we're glad to see a nice, simple user interface.
5,Norton AntiVirus 2010 is somewhat of an improvement over last year's version, but there's still some room to grow. Their resource usage is better, but still an issue this year. And the spyware/adware protection was far less than impressive
6,McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 comes in close behind Norton only because of a slightly slower scanning speed and slightly lower malware detection rate. On the plus side, McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 holds its own again this year with a solid antivirus model, good antispyware, and a software firewall that many other antivirus applications simply don't offer. While McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 isn't perfect, it's a respectable choice for those comfortable with McAfee's history of competent antivirus software.
7.Trend Micro AntiVirus + AntiSpyware 2010 hasn't made any significant changes since last year's version. The user interface is nice and easy to use, but the actual antivirus and antispyware functions still need a major overhaul.
