Check Point ZoneAlarm PRO Antivirus + Firewall offers advanced features not found in the free edition, but those features are too advanced for most users. In addition, it earned mediocre scores in our hands-on antivirus testing.

To Comodo's iffy antivirus, Comodo Internet Security Complete adds Cloud Backup and VPN components that simply do not work, and it costs more than competitors that do their jobs. Avoid it.

Symantec Norton AntiVirus Plus gets impressive scores in independent lab tests and our own hands-on tests, but it's expensive and doesn't offer volume pricing. If you want Norton protection, you're better off with one of Symantec's suite products.

The free Comodo Antivirus includes many high-end bonus features, but the independent antivirus testing labs have little to say about it, and it tanks in some of our own hands-on tests.

AceBIT Password Depot fails to automate some common password manager features, yet suffers an overload of complex options that most users don't need. There are simpler, more affordable choices.

Panda Dome Complete adds password management, anti-theft, and encryption to existing Panda suite features, but the third-party password manager is dated and awkward, and we couldn't get anti-theft working.
