The Bottom Line	Panda Antivirus 2008 is slower than the competition and lacks independent, third-party antivirus test results, and thus doesn't receive our recommendation.	Panda Internet Security 2009 is vastly improved in speed and effectiveness over last year, but could use a little more work on specific features and technical support.	Vipre combines antivirus and antispyware technology in a fast and light application that also includes a worthy set of security tools.	AntiVir Personal 8 provides more than adequate malicious-software protection, but for the price, we expected more features and polish.	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.
