From Mary Landesman, your Guide to Antivirus Software
AV-Test (av-test.org) has released the results of a three month continuous test of 19 antivirus scanners. This week, I've combed through the reports to determine which scanners are the best overall, best for gamers, best for older PCs and netbooks, and best for guarding against Web threats. Agree or disagree? Let others know of your own antivirus preference by posting your own antivirus review.

Top Windows Antivirus
This review picks the best antivirus software for Windows based in part on comprehensive antivirus testing performed by AV-Test. Results are based on performance in the second quarter of 2010 on Windows 7 (32-bit version). A total of 19 scanners were included in the tests.

Best Antivirus for Netbooks or Older PCs
Some of the most at-risk systems are older PCs and netbooks that may be running outdated versions of unpatched software that are particularly vulnerable to exploit. Here's our picks for the best low-impact protection for netbooks and older PCs.

Best Antivirus for Web and Email Protection
The Internet has enabled today's attackers to reach billions of potential victims each day. And thousands of new malware are constantly being unleashed on the Web and in email. The most important antivirus protection needed today centers around the ability to detect and prevent new malware attacks via the Web or email. Here's our picks, based on AV-Test results.

Write Your Own Review
Antivirus software may be must-have protection, but not everyone's experience will be equal. What's your take on antivirus software? Which is your favorite (or least favorite) antivirus? Post your own user review so others can benefit from your experience.
