explicitly identified as 2012 models, as well as several others
released during the same period. Which of these recent releases
is the best?

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus is Small But Highly Potent
Protection

Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus is tiny beyond belief, yet it
achieved perfect scores across the board in my malware-blocking
tests. It also did a very good job cleaning up malware-infested
systems. This impressive product shares our Editor's Choice
honor with Norton AntiVirus 2012.

Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete Has Superb Antivirus

Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete is the smallest and lightest
security suite ever. It does lack parental control and antispam,
but not everyone needs those and its antivirus protection is
superb. Its third-party licensed online backup and password
management are also very good.
