The Bottom Line	Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.	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.	Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.	Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 is a full-featured security suite, and the 2009 version scored well on independent antivirus detection and removal tests. However, be prepared to pay a premium for what you're getting.
