A few disappointing extras make this an unappetising upsell from the standard ZoneAlarm suite

Breathtakingly lightweight, but detection rates could be better.

Clean, clear and light on its feet, but with few extras.

A quantum leap in usability over the previous version, although malware protection could still be better

A winner on the strength of its excellent protection, coming first or equal-first in our malware and firewall test.

A new behavioural analysis module only adds to AVG’s capabilities, although it isn’t the most elegant marriage

A credible contender, but F-Secure Internet Security 2009 is neither the lightest nor the most effective security suite for your PC

A highly usable all-round security suite, but ultimately a strong runner-up rather than a new champion.

Comprehensive, competent and configurable protection at a good price. This is the best security suite out there

We've been impressed with Norton 360 - security for those who want something simple but effective. We're also impressed with the changes in Norton Internet Security 2009. So how does Norton 360 version 3.0 stack up?

A suite with some nice features but slow startup times made us disappointed with ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009

Symantec’s latest offering is lighter than ever and an extremely effective security package. And get this, a RAM footprint smaller than Kaspersky

Is it worth paying for the full version of AVG Internet Security?

A powerful and capable suite with some excellent features, although it isn’t the easiest to use, nor the cheapest around.

A dreadful performer in almost every regard.

Lighter than ever, but its all-round performance isn’t quite first class.

A comprehensive package, but not the most usable or effective

See why this relatively unknown, but simple, efficient and affordable package holds its own against the likes of AVG, Norton, Kaspersky and McAfee.

A solid, usable package with online backup to boot.

Our former champion loses its crown but remains a strong contender.
