Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2012

Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2012

In a year of competitive overhauls, Webroot's SecureAnywhere stands out for being an entirely new program with the smallest installer around. Fast scans, a combo of competitive features and sharp performance make this the suite to watch in the coming year.

F-Secure Internet Security 2012

F-Secure Internet Security 2012

Following a banner year in 2011, the new F-Secure Internet Security 2012 doesn't introduce many new changes, but it does maintain many of the suite's high performance marks on both system impact and security.

ESET Smart Security 5

ESET Smart Security 5

Back from the nearly dead, or at least the un-updated, ESET returns with high-level security that's light on your system. But for a top-tier suite, it's also light on features. Good thing it's priced lower, too.

Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2012

Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2012

Following on last year's big overhaul, Trend Micro makes a series of smaller changes to this year's Titanium security suites. While we loved the baked-in mobile support, free storage and file encryption, inconsistent benchmarks hold the suites back.
