    VIPRE Antivirus 2013

    Although VIPRE has its shortcomings including an interface that's not as modern as some competitors, it's still the best antivirus software of 2013.

    Why? From top to bottom, VIPRE was the most consistent performer in our tests, offering better protection, even against brand new viruses, than any other software.

    BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2013

    While it's not as well-known as Norton or McAfee, BitDefender has actually been around since 2001. With the 2013 version, BitDefender is once again among the best antivirus software out there, scoring among the top programs in each of our tests.

    Norton Antivirus Software 2013

    Recent years haven't always been kind to Norton, with it getting a reputation for slowing down PCs. We're glad to see with the 2013 version the days of bloat are gone, and it's once again back to being among the best antivirus software out there, particularly against new threats.

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus Software 2013

    There's no question some parts of Kaspersky's overall usability aren't as polished as some competitors, but Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2013 is strong as ever when it comes to solid, antivirus protection.

    ESET NOD32 Antivirus 6

    Yes, it still has a funny-sounding name, but it's a strong presence in the world of antivirus software. We take that seriously.

    It looks like software is supposed to. The left-side navigation is intuitive, and overall usability is good.

    avast Pro Antivirus 2012 (7.0)

    Avast Pro Antivirus 7 stacks up well against the competition with some good antivirus and spyware protection this year.

    Despite the good parts, there are some things that aren't ideal. For one, virus removal could be better, as could its antiphishing...

    AVG Anti-Virus Software 2013

    AVG has built their reputation on solid, free antivirus software for some years now. It's always been a good "go to" software for a lot of consumers to try out when they thought they might have a virus infection.

    McAfee AntiVirus Plus 2013

    Like Norton, McAfee is one of best-known and most popular PC security products.

    The problem: despite their size as a company, McAfee's software doesn't make the grade anymore. The common complaints that it's slow and bloated are, sadly, true.

    Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus + Antispyware 2013

    We were worried when Trend added the word "Titanium" to its name. Why? Often when a company does something like that, we find there's nothing there. That's not the case here. For 2013...

    Panda Antivirus Pro 2013

    Not so long ago, Panda was one of our favorite products. It offered top-notch protection and features no one else did.

    About the same time competitors began catching up with Panda's features, it started slipping elsewhere.
