ESET NOD32 3.0 Antivirus System (Windows)


Eset NOD32 3.0 finally gets its interface right and, along with high-rated performance among independent testing labs, deserves consideration on your desktop.

 

Spyware Doctor 5.1


Spyware Doctor 5.1 could be more aggressive in removing all traces of found spyware.

 

ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 7.1


At $20, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is one of the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, offers more features than other similar products, and remains one of the best.

 

Spy Sweeper 5.5


Although Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5 scored well in CNET tests, it installs the Ask.com toolbar, which seems odd for antispyware product to do.

 

Windows Defender (version 1593)


Windows Defender is free and therefore should be a part of your desktop antispyware collection.

 

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008


McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product itself doesn't excel.

 

Nero 8


Nero 8 shows off a new interface for getting started that makes the many tools easier to find from the get-go. Some welcome new features include HD support, although this rich suite can still confuse.

 

Norton PartitionMagic 8


If you need to partition your live hard drive, Norton PartitionMagic 8 is still the application to beat.

 

TechTool Protogo - complete package


Even Macs need a little TLC now and then, and TechTool's reputation combined with mobile convenience makes this a great utility to have on hand.

 

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4


The free Spybot - Search and Destroy 1.4 offers many features, but when it comes to detection and removal, there are better free products on the market today such as Microsoft Windows Defender.
