PC Tools Internet Security 2010 (1 User, 3 PCs) We're big fans of PC Tools Internet Security's ThreatFire component, and the overall toolset that PC Tools provides is robust, but the suite could be both faster and easier to use.

Norton AntiVirus 2010 (1 User, 1 PC) Norton AntiVirus 2010 builds on the immense progress made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework.
