Google stakes Pwnium hacking contest to $3.14M in potential prizes

Google today announced it would again host its Pwnium hacking contest at a March
security conference, but boosted the maximum amount it will pay to $3.14 million
and changed the target to the browser-based Chrome OS.

intimated last week.

Avira Internet Security 2013: Competent but confusing

Avira Internet Security 2013 is an acceptable antivirus program--if you happen
to be an expert in security jargon and working your way through a somewhat
unfriendly user interface. This particular security suite passed our tests
(though,

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013: Good protection, advanced settings (minus the jargon)

Kaspersky Internet Security 2013 ($60 for one year and three PCs, as of
12/19/12) is a solid antimalware suite that provides admirable protection and an
excellent settings interface. This program looks a little different from the
other suites we tested, mainly because of its teal-and-white colors, in contrast
to the green-is-good/red-is-bad user interface that most other security packages
use. But once you get past the fact that teal is sort of the same as green
(trust us, this takes a moment), it's a good program that will keep you safe
from most incoming attacks.

McAfee Internet Security 2013 Review: Proficient antimalware, super-quick installation

McAfee Internet Security 2013 ($40 for one year of protection on up to 3
computers, as of 12/19/12) didn't manage top marks in our security suite tests,
but it's still a fairly proficient antimalware program that will keep you

G Data InternetSecurity 2013 Review: Excellent protection, but a terrible user interface

G Data InternetSecurity 2013 ($35 for one year, as of 12/19/12) is a
comprehensive security suite with an excellent protection record: It blocked,
detected, and disabled all of the malicious files we threw at it, and cleaned up
80 percent of infections in our system cleanup test. However, it's not the most
user-friendly suite, with a tedious installation process and an
advanced-users-only settings panel. As a result, it ended up toward the bottom
of our rankings.

Bitdefender Internet Security 2013: Excellent protection, user-friendly interface

Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 ($70 for one year and three PCs, as of
12/19/12) may just be everything that you'd want in a security suite. This
program, which earned the highest rating in both our real-world attack test and
our system cleanup test, has a user-friendly interface that will appeal to both
regular and advanced users. It also comes with several extra services, such as
antitheft protection for various mobile devices.

AVG Internet Security 2013 Review: Adequate antivirus program gets a makeover

AVG has given its Internet Security suite a makeover for the new year. AVG
Internet Security 2013 ($55 for one year, as of 12/17/12) now has a pretty,
Windows 8-style tiled interface, complete with large, colorful buttons that are
optimized for a touchscreen. That said, it seems as if AVG has put most of its
effort into improving its program's looks, as the suite managed a respectable,
but below-average, showing in our tests.

F-Secure Internet Security 2013: First-rate protection and usability has a small performance price

F-Secure Internet Security 2013 (about $73 for one year and one computer, as of
12/19/12) came in first in several of our malware detection, blocking, and
removal tests. It successfully blocked attacks, detected and disabled
infections, and proved adept at cleaning up all traces of malware, landing at
the top of this year's security suite roundup.
