From all our investigations over the past few weeks we can conclude in our opinion AVG Internet Security is the best software around! We were really pleased and excited to see that Avira and Kaspersky have so much potential and are on the verge of being world class products. Norton 360 and McAfee, for us, were the biggest let downs. The quality of product and service just isn’t as good as you expect. In many cases you’re better off going for a smaller brand or AVG! All software used in the comparisons were the best available home software from the brand at the time of writing.
I think the interesting and most important thing to take from the investigation is that the two biggest household names are rated as last. Consequently this whole survey really asks this question…’do the big name brands always provide the best service and product?’
