The Bottom Line With VirusScan 2006, McAfee greatly enhances user protection against spyware and adware threats but slows your system down in the process. McAfee VirusScan Plus 2008's protection keeps up with the changing threats on the Internet, but the product itself doesn't excel. Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7 continues to outshine its competition with its ease of use combined with thorough antivirus protection. Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection. Norton AntiVirus 2006 improves its detection and removal of spyware and adware but lags behind the more proactive McAfee VirusScan 2006.
