The Bottom Line	AVG Anti-Virus 8 is solid at finding and removing viruses and spyware as well as blocking Web threats, but could be lighter on system resources and provide more technical support options.	AntiVir Personal 8 provides more than adequate malicious-software protection, but for the price, we expected more features and polish.	Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools.	Norton AntiVirus 2009 hits all the right security notes, and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though for some, technical support may continue to frustrate.
