BitDefender Internet Security 2008 ($40 for one PC, $50 for three PCs) pairs shining success with disappointing failure. It outperformed every other suite in crucial malware detection tests, unmasked every rootkit sample. But this stellar performance behind the scenes was seriously marred by an unpleasant user experience. From aggravations with the initial installation to difficulties with warning pop-ups, BitDefender Internet Security 2008flaws are hard to brush off. BitDefender Internet Security 2008 did extremely well when subjected to AV-Test.org's 674,589 inactive malware samples, detecting 98 percent of them. It also did the best job of detecting new, unknown malware in heuristics tests, with a 29 percent catch rate using one-month-old signatures. And it also tied for first with Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 for the fastest response (0 to 2 hours) to malware outbreaks. BitDefender Internet Security 2008 firewall successfully masked a protected PC against outside scans, but it displayed needless warnings when the Firefox Web browser tried to access the Internet. That program should be on any firewall's list of known (and approved) applications. The suite offers a good array of secondary features, including antiphishing, parental controls, antispam, and data privacy. But these extras need polish. The browser-based antiphishing tool didn't block any sites until I enabled the feature's heuristic detection, which is off by default. When I enabled parental control for other users, I wasn't prompted to set a program password--but if you fail to do so and you set up your kids' accounts with administrator rights, they'll be able to turn off the parental controls. BitDefender Internet Security 2008 warning pop-ups did a poor job of guiding us through the steps of removing a detected e-mail worm (Warezov). The pop-up alert had options for ignoring, quarantining, or deleting the file. But perhaps because ther malware was lurking inside a .zip file, the security suite's default option was to ignore the infection. Choosing to quarantine the archive failed, but rather than alerting me to the failure. the program just popped up the same window without the quarantine option. Choosing delete finally worked. If BitDefender Internet Security 2008 interface and warnings were anywhere near as good as its virus detection engine, the suite would be easy to recommend. But its confusing pop-ups, program bugs, and high false positive rate make it best suited to a user who has strong technical skills and can at times make the right security choices without guidance from the software.

Sarrel. Businesses face myriad Internet threats—rootkits to the left, bots to the right, spyware behind—yet, despite all opposition, they must charge onto an e-commerce and technology battlefield. Fortunately, the new Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 (EP 11), an anti-everything software client, strings virtual barbed wire around your business's PCs. A host-based intrusion prevention system (HIPS) uses TruScan proactive threat scanning to prevent zero-day attacks and at the same time locks down the desktop so that only authorized apps can run. Device control regulates the copying of files to USB memory devices. Antivirus and antispyware features (along with anti-rootkit protection) guard against malware. A network IPS rounds out the product, along with a firewall that provides low-level protection from network threats. Typically, when testing a product as feature-rich as this, we find a few things that don't work, so we're happy to report that Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 actually does work. It blocked malware and controlled removable device privileges as configured and is a fine choice for businesses with perhaps 25 to 50 users. Administrators can install the software in unmanaged fashion—directly on workstations, in other words—or using a managed approach, by putting the software on a server and then packaging and pushing it to workstations. When I installed it on Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (remember to turn on IIS before installation), a wizard walked me through configuration, during which I set the admin password and created a database (which took 15 minutes or so to initialize). The installation wizard launched a deployment wizard, and using that I exported an install package that was only about 60MB. Although I installed this package manually on my test workstation, you can push it to clients using Active Directory. Once the client software was running, the workstation appeared in the management console. The management interface gives you control down to an extreme level of granularity. That's no mean feat, and, for the most part, the developers did a great job. Still, to let managers segment clients for management purposes, there are four levels of organization (group, location, domain, client), and getting used to that took some time. The approach provides an advantage, though: Different administrators can assign different policies based on departmental policy and then apply a modified version of that policy if the computer moves. For instance, a laptop in the office may have a more restrictive security policy than the same laptop on the road. This flexibility is important in large enterprises, but for small businesses it's overkill. You should try to segment as little as possible to simplify ongoing policy management. The soundest advice I can give regarding implementation of Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 is to roll it out using the default policies, watch the notifications that you get, and adjust policy as needed over time. Testing Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 Configuring security policy on my management server and pushing it to the client workstation was easy enough. But although the management interface is clean and well organized, the many options make getting lost quite possible. I had no trouble configuring malware scans and HIPS and firewall policies, though—it's really just a matter of finding the right check box most of the time. In my efficacy tests, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 blocked six of six attempted virus downloads via HTTP, even detecting my test virus within a ZIP file. It blocked six of eight attempted keylogger downloads, allowing me to install the two that got through but later detecting one through a routine scan and removing it. The product blocked all seven attempted Trojan horse downloads and eight of ten spyware downloads, but it did allow me to install the two that got through without removing them. For comparison, consider that the feckless F-Secure Client Security 7.1 fell victim to eight keyloggers, four rogues, and four adware applications. In one case the spyware was never detected; in the other case the antispyware didn't detect the spyware, but the firewall did. I was unhappy, though, that the message the utility displayed was the rather vague "HTTP CommonName Traffic Detected." A chat with Symantec confirmed that this did indeed mean the spyware had been blocked, and you can edit firewall policy from the management console to append a statement like "This traffic has been blocked and your network administrator has been notified" to the message. It might be nice if Symantec did this little piece of work for you, though. Device control worked very well. I was able to prevent the client computer from writing files to a USB memory key, and I also built and distributed a policy that prevented users from sending data to CD and DVD drives, Bluetooth devices, and printers. In addition, I was able to customize the message that users would see when their access was blocked—a helpful capability that lets them know the restriction is intentional and not a system error. Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 gives an organization's IT administrator comprehensive tools for detecting and repelling attacks. With a protection product that allows this much flexibility and control over policies, you'll have to spend some time learning the ins and outs, but that's far better than learning that your business has been compromised. The good news is that once you climb the learning curve, the product actually works, unlike competitor F-Secure Client Security 7.1, which was easy to implement yet stopped practically nothing from infecting our test machines. Priced at roughly two to three times what the competition costs, Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0 isn't cheap, but in some respects you get what you pay for—and in this case, you're paying for peace of mind.

Cyber criminals can also use the compromised information for distributing a phishing attack, an attempt to steal personal account information by luring a recipient to respond to a message through a malicious Web site. Symantec's Norton AntiBot provides advanced, real-time protection against emerging malicious threats, including Bots that are used to perpetrate identity theft and other online crimes. The new security solution from Symantec detects unusual behavior on your PC and stops and removes the crimeware programs causing it. Consequently, it protects PCs from unauthorized access and tampering, detects and stops hacker attempts to take remote control of your PC, and removes any identified Bots-delivering extra protection against unexpected, zero-day threats.

What It Does Makes your computer run faster by cleaning and compressing your registry. Who Needs It * Use if you frequently install and uninstall software * Use if you've been using the same computer for a year or more * Use if you've recently removed a lot of spyware The Windows Registry is a database containing important configuration settings and is an integral part of your computer. It is used heavily by the operating system and by virtually every program that you may run on your PC. Whenever you install a new program, entries are created in the registry, and as it gets larger your computer becomes slower. Invalid registry entries that are left behind due to software malfunction, spyware infection, or removal of programs are a common cause of computer slowdown and fatal Windows crashes. Windows updates and updates from your computer manufacturer also tend to create and delete registry entries all the time. PC Tools Registry Mechanic is a utility designed by PC Tools that's intended to keep your registry in the same optimal condition it was when you first started using it. Not only does it identify and remove invalid entries, it also compresses your registry making it (and your whole computer) faster. UsabilityWe found PC Tools Registry Mechanic to be easy to use. There are three options you can select (and you should select all of them). The first performs a deep scan on your registry to identify and fix problems. The second makes changes to registry settings to make your computer run faster. The third compresses and optimizes the registry to make it run faster. Running all three options on a PC takes less than five minutes and should be done regularly (probably about once a month). We decided to test PC Tools Registry Mechanic on two PCs. The first was a low-use desktop PC less than a month old. The second is a kid's high-use gaming laptop that frequently has games and toolbars installed and uninstalled on it. We took measurements on both PCs, installed and ran PC Tools Registry Mechanic, and then remeasured the difference. In our first test, we measured the Windows startup time. On the new desktop computer, startup time decreased from 57 to 49 seconds, a savings of 8 seconds or 14%. On the second high-use laptop, startup time decreased from 41 to 31 seconds, or a 25% improvement. PC Tools Registry Mechanic definitely had an effect. We then used a tool called Sisoft Sandra to benchmark both machines. This tool measures CPU, memory, network, and file system utilization and is a good overall measure of how well the operating system and hardware are working. On the newer desktop, the Sisoft Sandra benchmarks didn't change much at all - there was a slight improvement, but not enough where one could tell the difference in normal, everyday use. On the gaming laptop however, the difference was amazing. Three of the four Sisoft Sandra benchmarks increased by over 80%! The computer was noticably faster and more responsive. Here are the before and after benchmarks:
PC Tools Registry Mechanic 5.2 has a number of minor features, but a few stand out. For instance, it will look for and remove file fragments temporary files (*.tmp and *.chk) often left over from installation and windows disk recovery operations. And it also defragments the windows boot file and sorts and refreshes the Windows Start Menu items list. All of these features help help to increase the speed at which Windows starts up and runs. SummaryThe Windows registry is an essential part of your operating system that must be kept in good condition for your computer to run optimally. PC Tools Registry Mechanic 5.1 is an effective tool that will improve performance of older and heavily-used PCs, sometimes dramatically. Highly recommended.

The bad: No anti-spyware protection; doesn't specifically protect against root kits; can be fooled into thinking your system is protected when it is not; technical support underwhelming. The bottom line: CA Antivirus 2007 provides a good antivirus engine, adequately protecting your desktop from basic malicious viruses and worms. But the application has a few interface glitches and provides less-than-optimal technical support. Review date: 11/15/06 In the past, CA antivirus products have gone under various names, such as eTrust, eTrust EZ, Vet, and InoculateIT; now, under the name CA Antivirus 2007, the company hopes to eliminate brand confusion. Whatever you call it, the CA antivirus engine is good, winning honors from several independent testing labs over the years and providing the AV component to several Internet Security suites from other vendors. But despite its antiviral pedigree and a company cash guarantee to keep your system virus-free, CA Antivirus 2007 still suffers from program interface glitches and poor technical support, details which tempered our overall enthusiasm for the product. Setup What's more, CA has decided to offer their CA Anti-spyware 2007 application as a separate $29.95 purchase--while Norton and McAfee VirusScan Plus both include anti-spyware along with antivirus protection. Do note: should you purchase CA Antivirus 2007 online and use a credit card, CA will automatically renew your annual subscription. You will receive an e-mail before renewal explaining the automatic billing. If you do not want CA to automatically renew your subscription, you need to discontinue the Continue Protection program (details on disabling the program are contained with your online order receipt). Boxed retail versions are also available. Should you decide to uninstall CA Antivirus 2007, there is unfortunately no uninstall icon in the All Programs directory,. You'll need to use the Control Panel's Add or Remove Program function. Fortunately, unlike Norton and McAfee which both leave unnecessary files and registry keys behind, CA Antivirus 2007 uninstalls completely. Interface In the course of our testing, we sometimes needed to stop a complete system scan. In doing so, we witnessed our security status change from a yellow triangle with exclamation point, warning us that we had not completed a system scan, to green, indicating that we had completed a full scan and that our system was clean. We were able to replicate this error several times. We also discovered that CA Antivirus 2007 will run up to seven days before it will flag you that it's missing the latest antivirus update. We suspect these are minor interface glitches; however, this problem could expose users to unchecked dangers. Features As for technical features, CA Antivirus 2007 offers the same basic features found in competing applications. However, unlike most other antivirus applications hitting the market for 2007, we could find no mention of root kit protection within CA Antivirus 2007--a notable omission, we think. Performance In terms of protecting your PC, we refer readers to two leading independent antivirus testing organizations. In the latest test results from CheckVir.com, eTrust Antivirus v7.1 (the predecessor to CA Antivirus) was one of four products to earn their Advanced rating. Our second source of independent antivirus testing, AV-Comparatives.org, did not test eTrust Antivirus v7.1. Support Also, as you drill down the FAQ, the support page opens new windows/tabs within your browser for each layer, creating several useless open windows/tabs. Web support requires you to enter a first and last name, a telephone number, and an e-mail address, as does a request for the online chat service. Live telephone support is available 24/7, but it costs $29.95 per incident. Conclusion Note: This product is part of the CA Security 2007 series.

Child Safe, by Webroot Software, is similar to a parental control program. With Child Safe parents can set time limits, including when and how long a user may utilize specific programs or access the Internet. This program can also create comprehensive reports of computer activity, so parents can know what sites their children visited and when, as well as what programs they used. These reports can be emailed to parents daily, weekly or monthly.This program can also restrict kids from changing Windows system settings; it can block children from the control panel, network controls, taskbar and start menu properties and more. This software will work with the Vista operating system as well as XP. The program runs quietly in the background and is inaccessible to anyone without the right passwords.Though this program works well as a parental control program, it does not have as many filtering features as some of the higher ranked programs. This software filters by URL, category and keyword, which may not be enough to block everything. This service is far more suitable as a parental control program since it excels with time restrictions and monitoring.

Webroot Desktop Firewall provides the critical protection you need to keep your PC safe from unauthorized access. Webroot Desktop Firewall is an integrated desktop firewall and multi-layer intrusion prevention software solution which helps protect against identity and data theft, hackers, and other types of unauthorized access to your PC. Its multiple layers of security include desktop firewall, port manager, URL filter, process monitor, and application/system anomaly detection. This layered approach to firewall defense and intrusion prevention addresses the Windows vulnerabilities that hackers exploit to gain unauthorized system access and steal private information. Combined with Webroot's intuitive interface, Webroot Desktop Firewall delivers powerful protection that is easy to use. Makes your computer invisible on the InternetHackers won't see you because Webroot Desktop Firewall cloaks your computer's identity or IP address on the Internet, making it invisible to others and reducing the risk of intrusion or attack. Monitors and protects all Internet traffic to and from your computerMonitor all Internet traffic to and from your PC and blocks harmful or suspicious activity. It even prevents trusted applications from being "hijacked" to steal personal files. Windows Firewall only monitors traffic into your PC leaving you exposed if a Trojan or BOT is already operating on your machine. Learning Firewall means fewer interruptions during PC useWebroot Desktop Firewall doesn't bother you with a lot of pop up screens during configuration. It "learns" what normal application or connection activity occurs on your PC and alerts you to unusual or suspicious behavior. You can define additional rules for specific applications or connection types if you choose. Powerful security that's easy to useMost users won't need to interact with the program very much because Webroot Desktop Firewall works silently in the background and only alerts you when attention is needed. If action is required, you don't have to be a security expert to respond. Webroot Desktop Firewall's intuitive interface is easy to understand and provides instant access to important information. Windows Vista compatibleWebroot Desktop Firewall is fully compatible with the Windows Vista operating system. It provides superior protection to the basic firewall features found in Windows XP and Vista, and will not cause conflicts with those features. In addition, Webroot Desktop Firewall technology is fully integrated with the Windows Security Center for added convenience. Convenient and knowledgeable online supportWebroot products are very easy to set up and use. But if you do need assistance, our convenient online support provides the resources you need to get you back up and running quickly. Satisfaction GuaranteeWebroot always stands behind its products, which is why all of our products are backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. No questions asked. Key Product Features Stealth Mode FeatureWebroot Desktop Firewall lets you operate your computer operate in Stealth Mode, making your online presence invisible to Internet scammers looking for easy targets. Email ProtectionMitigates the impact of attacks targeting your email client by tracking the normal volume and frequency of outbound emails. Webroot Desktop Firewall alerts you or blocks unacceptable deviations from normal email activity. Advanced Packet FilteringFeatures a layer-3 firewall which uses unique stateful packet inspection technology to detect and block unauthorized access to your system. Malicious Process BlockingTracks all trusted processes and provides alerts when a potentially malicious process attempts to run. This makes Webroot Desktop Firewall a perfect compliment to the antivirus and antispyware protection found in Webroot Spy Sweeper and Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware for added protection. System Anomaly IntelligenceAutomatically develops a baseline profile of your normal PC usage based on system variables such as CPU utilization, thread count, and others. Normal application and system use patterns are monitored and alerts are generated as unusual activity is detected. Port Monitoring and BlockingMonitors all ports to prohibit unauthorized port scanning or any other type of system intrusion. Custom Protection ProfilesEasily define and set different levels of protection depending on whether you are connected at home or on the road. Lock down your PCExperiencing unexplained computer activity? Use the Stop Traffic feature to immediately stop all traffic in and out of your PC, and protect your data until you can determine the cause. File and Printer SharingWebroot Desktop Firewall lets you easily share your files and printers with other computers on your local area network without unnecessarily exposing your PC to online threats. Comprehensive Internet Activity LogIf you think someone has attempted to access your PC, simply review the Internet activity log. You'll know if a hacker or unknown programs has cracked your PC.

Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2008 suite offers solid security protection and features, including the best behavior-based defense against unknown threats. Symantec's Norton Internet Security 2008 security suite ($70 for up to three PCs) is easy to use and comes with a host of extra security features, such as a separate Security Inspector scan that warns about unsafe browser settings and other potential security holes. It was the only suite in our testing for "All-in-One Security Suites: Tried and Tested" that didn't cry wolf by reporting at least one false positive. It detected an above-average 91 percent of AV-Test.org's 674,589 malware samples. This results put the Norton suite close behind the Avira Premium Security Suite, BitDefender Internet Security 2008 , Checkpoint ZoneAlarm Internet SecuritySuite 7.1, and Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 packages, each of which detected 95 percent or more of the malware samples. Nevertheless. a 4 percent difference in detection rates represents a difference of 26,983 undetected samples. Symantec's suite produced the second-worst showing on AV-Test's heuristic tests, catching only 10 percent of samples when required to use one-month-old signature files to detect unknown malware based on similarities to existing code. The Symantec suite did outperform the other programs at getting rid of infections. It cleaned up 80 percent of all files and Registry entries added by malware. In particular, Norton was a champ at fighting rootkits--malware designed to hide other malware. It detected every active and inactive rootkit sample, and successfully neutralized those infections. Symantec's suite was one of only two programs (Checkpoint was the other) to detect and block unidentified malware based solely on the way it behaved, but even so it caught just one sample out of five. In our tests, on-demand (user-initiated) scans were more than 50 percent faster with Norton than with the next-fastest suite (Avira Premium), yielding an impressive data-analysis rate of 16.07 megabytes per second. And those on-demand scans look inside file archives, where crooks frequently hide malicious payloads. (On the other hand, Norton's automatic scans, which check files as your system saves them to the hard drive, won't check file archives unless you change the default settings). Symantec's firewall is polished. It successfully blocked attempts from outside to scan a protected PC for information, and it did better than most competing suites at refraining from issuing unnecessary warnings about benign apps such as Firefox and Internet Explorer. In addition, Norton Internet Security displayed an apt warning when it detected an unencrypted wireless connection, and it incorporates various safe-browsing features. For example, its Norton Confidential toolbar, designed for Firefox and Internet Explorer, blocks phishing sites; and its Browser Defender checks for known vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer 6 and 7. Though the suite's Identity Safe feature protects sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, from inadvertently leaving your PC, you'll must manually tell it what information to protect--a standard but laborious process. It has no antispam or parental controls, but those features are freely downloadable from Symantec's site. The interface is well laid-out, and the software's pop-up detection alerts are generally understandable, though they provide little information, such as where a threat was found. Its impressive log entries simplify the task of finding out what the program has been up to--but again they lack information about where a given threat was discovered. Our one major criticism of the suite is that when we uninstalled it, it left behind the separate LiveUpdate component. You have to know to go back and remove LiveUpdate as well. Norton Internet Security 2008 has a good design and an appealing feature set. It could be better at blocking malware, but it's the best choice of the eight we looked at. -- Erik Larkin All Symantec products:
