AVG has always proved to be the no. 1 in the ranking of Internet Security and Spyware. It has the ability to give protection for free. However, does the full security match up? Unfortunately not. The antivirus bundled up with the Internet Security is the exact same one you can get for free and no doubt, it is good. The other components like the firewall don’t quite match up though. The firewall displays vulnerabilities and anti-spam filter doesn’t block much spam. The phishing protection isn’t up to the mark either. But, the PC tuneup, online backup and AVG accelerator work well and speed up few areas of the PC. The core antivirus program that can be obtained for free and performs well in real world situations, but the rest of the suite isn’t all that. Overall system performance impact is small as well. This suite retails for 55$ for a single license.
2. Avira Internet Security 2012:
This is the same as AVG which helps you to remove any malware instantly from your computer. This also offers free services that is really good. Again, the same antivirus turns out to be one of the best components of this Internet Security suite. While it doesn't offer much by way of extras, Avira performs well in malware detection and removal and has a robust firewall. Again, the phishing filter and anti-spam filter don’t perform particularly well. Furthermore, Avira is weak with rootkit detection and removal. On the bright side, the best feature, the antivirus, is available for free and the suite as a whole doesn't slow down system performance. Avira Internet Security costs 60$ for a single license in the market
3. Norton Internet Security 2012:
This is one of the popularly heard names in the market. Norton Internet security lives up to the expectations of the normal basic users. Unlike previous versions, specifically the ones leading upto and including the 2010 version, Norton Internet Security 2012 is fast, efficient and doesn’t affect system performance. It looks good, is easy to use and offers exceptional firewall, on access and virus protection and effectively removes threats. Even the anti-spam works very well. Although, SONAR (on access protection) can get a bit overzealous at times and block harmless programs that aren’t very widely used. Overall it’s one of the best suites to have, Inthe market it costs 70$ for 3 licenses.
4. Kaspersky Internet Security 2012:
Kaspersky’s new internet security give a great protection from firewall and antivirus. It’s malware protection is awesome, but other features don't match up. The anti-spam and phishing protection miss a lot of threats and the suite in general does affect the overall systems' performance. Kaspersky Internet Security offers a unique feature called Safe Run that creates a separate, temporary desktop and registry isolated from the main desktop. This can be used to run files or install programs you don’t entirely trust. If any problems are seen, the temporary desktop can be wiped clean without any effect on your main desktop.

5. McAfee Total Protection 2012:
McAfee Total Security has many features in it’s suite that includes anti-spam, intruder detection, parental controls, file shredder and a lot more. Unlike other suites, the add on features actually perform well. Intruder detection and anti-spam are very efficient and online backup is useful as well. But, the core malware detection/removal and firewall don’t perform nearly as good as the best in its span. Also, McAfee affects system performance adversely. So if you’re looking for a suite that offers a host of features, get this suite, but keep in mind malware detection and removal is better in other suites. McAfee Total Secuity 2012 costs 90$ for 3 licenses in the market.
6. Bitdefender Total Security 2012:
Bitdefender is one of the best suites available on the market. Along with essential components like anti virus, firewall and anti-spam, Bitdefender offers PC tuneup, Facebook protection, online backup and more. This suite offers fairly good malware protection, although not the best. The firewall is efficient, strong and silent as well. The extra features like PC tuneup and online backup perform well too. Phishing protection and anti-spam is decent and in general the suite offers good protection. However, it does slow down the system a bit and malware removal is good, but not great. Overall a good suite, retails at 80$ for 3 licenses.
7. Avast! Internet Security 2012:
