The Bottom Line	Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools.	Eset NOD32 3.0 finally gets its interface right and, along with high-rated performance among independent testing labs, deserves consideration on your desktop.	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.
