The Bottom Line	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.	You can't beat the price. For a good, basic Internet Security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.	AntiVir Personal 8 provides more than adequate malicious-software protection, but for the price, we expected more features and polish.	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.	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.
