September 12, 2012 update - The link below leads to a blog about Antivirus 2013 solutions. The blog below is a relatively comprehensive listing of Antivirus 2012 solutions.
The great thing about Neil Rubenking and PC Magazine Antivirus best antivirus software 2012 and best internet security suite reviews in general is that he is thorough. He does his homework. He discusses the changes from the previous year rather than just doing a “feature” list. And his style is both detailed and entertaining.
Antivirus solutions provide “basic” protection. For more comprehensive protection, you should take a look at security vendors’ internet security suites, or their power internet security suites. These contain even more features, or bloatware, depending on your own personal beliefs. When looking at pricing, note that some of the licenses are for one user, others are for three. Pairing up with a bud or two can save you some $ for a Starbucks card.
