The Bottom Line McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools. Once it's up and running, McAfee Internet Security 2009 is competitive with Norton on speed, detection, and removal of malicious software. You can't beat the price. For a good, basic Internet Security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009. Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools. Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.
