Antivirus and firewall software Updated December 19, 2005 Without a corporate IT staff or gateway antivirus and firewall solutions, small businesses need some kind of protection from Internet dangers. These suites provide antivirus protection, firewall blocking, and Internet privacy. Plus, they offer additional privacy protection, such as blocking objectionable Web sites, all in one convenient package. This year, we recommend ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 over collections from Norton and McAfee because ZoneAlarm's suite offers the most complete Internet protection for your PC without slowing down your machine.

| Review summary | ZoneAlarm Security Suite puts Norton and McAfee to shame with its easy-to-use triple-layer firewall, antivirus, antispam, and now antispyware features. | Norton Internet Security 2006 is a solid security suite, but it bogs down PC performance. Though it's a reasonable upgrade for entrenched Norton fans, it offers users less bang for the buck than ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6. | McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 packs a powerful protection arsenal--but it's far too slow. Loyal McAfee users should upgrade for the automatic spyware and phishing blockers, but the rest of us should seek security elsewhere, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6. |
