The Best Security Suites for 2009

Which suite will be best for keeping you safe and not slowing you down this year? We've tested them all, and the answer might surprise you.

by Neil J. Rubenking


02.02.09

The list of available 2009-model security suites is now essentially complete. A running theme in this year's suites is the promise that these new versions will do more for your security while tying up fewer system resources.

It's about time: Users have had it with suites that offer security but bog down the computer. Several vendors have introduced new "in the cloud" technologies to keep up with the accelerating growth of new malware. And many have redesigned their user interfaces to be more attractive and look lighter and faster. Some are new, innovative, and speedy. Others haven't kept pace. Which are which? I put them all through grueling tests to find out...

• BitDefender Total Security 2009

• CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2009

• Comodo Internet Security 3.5

• F-Secure Internet Security 2009

• Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

• McAfee Total Protection 2009

• Norton Internet Security 2009 (summary)

• Panda Global Protection 2009

• Trend Micro Internet Security Pro v2

• TrustPort PC Security 2009

• Webroot Internet Security Essentials

• ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009

Looks like F-secure and McAfee need to clean up their act.

I don't trust pcmag reviews. Some products always tend to get good reviews. And i never wonder why

[hellnoire]

Yeah, I notice that too. And I thought I was the only one to notice it.

They always rated Norton as the highest rating.

While I'm not going to make my trademark comment on Norton (my sig says it fine), I find it funny it tells F-Secure to clean up it's act. Using just it's antivirus, I had no issues. I never tried the suite (which I should have done, since this is for suites) but it was an okay a/v. Just wasn't my style.

Also find it odd ZoneAlarm is highly rated. Last time I used any of it's products (last month I think it was), it was crap. It caught WinPatrol as a trojan... which ticked me off to no end. To each their own I guess.

I know it is hard for norton haters to accept, but maybe one of the best pc magazines know what they are talking about.

Where is Avira and G-Data?
Btw: G-Data is available in 2010-Version now!

Online reviews are just guide,if u feel that ur favorite brand was underrated then it's time to evaluate it more...

Anyway we still have 6 online independent review sites just check raymond.cc blog archives

"Test it on your Own Box" that's the best way to evaluate the product.
