Microsoft Announces Beta Antivirus and Antispyware Solutions: Free for Now
$1,500.00
This IDC Flash analyzes Microsoft Corp.'s announcement that it will offer all Microsoft users a free beta version of antivirus and antispyware software. This news comes as no surprise to IDC. This document is an update to one published in July 2003 after Microsoft's acquisition of the Romanian antivirus vendor GeCAD. In that document, IDC predicted that Microsoft would initially position the GeCAD software as a complement to existing antivirus software to help address the vulnerability issues of Microsoft's installed base of Windows clients. IDC believes today's announcement is the first step toward Microsoft's eventually offering a full-blown antivirus and antispyware solution that will compete with the likes of Symantec, McAfee, Computer Associates, Trend Micro, and Sophos, among others. We believe the market for standalone antivirus and antispyware solutions will rapidly consolidate as customers increasingly demand a single comprehensive solution that addresses viruses, spyware, trojans, worms, and other types of malicious code. We fully expect a more comprehensive, integrated solution from Microsoft in early 2006.

Norton Antivirus 2008 1 User [OLD VERSION]
$39.99
Great product. I have it set up on two laptops and also on my tower server. It runs flawlessly and quickly, much quicker than older versions. It has also picked out whatever viruses come via email, music downloads, etc. The updates are automatically and easily downloaded. I highly recommend this product to anyone using a PC.

Panda Antivirus + Firewall 2008 3-User
$39.99
I am extremely happy with this product, I've been using it for 3 years now. It takes up much fewer resources that Norton Anti virus & is quite stealthy while it works in the background.

The most important part of installing this is to make sure that you have gotten rid of all traces of your old Anti virus program. Not doing this first will result in conflicts & a bogged down system.

Panda is fairly basic in it's reporting capabilities & gives you just the basics in user control. You might want to disable some of the warnings that it gives you & let it do its thing, you can also control the length & transparency of the warnings so they aren't quite as annoying.

My only grip with this product is that the first time I tried to register the product, I felt like I was jumping through the proverbial hoops. All in all after initial installation, I feel that it does a great job in protecting my system without all the bloat & hoopla.
