New model-year security products used to come out in the fall, like new model-year cars. In 2011, though, the first 2012 antivirus (G Data AntiVirus 2012 ($29.95 direct, 3.5 stars) turned up way back in May. So far PCMag has reviewed over a dozen antivirus tools explicitly identified as 2012 models, along with a number of others released during the same period.

Norton will be the editor of choice because of the reputation it has. If you took all the paid AVs away I bet Avast would be up the top.

Not sure if avast can beat any other free antivirus, but many people will prefer avast.

Well that is what I would prefer. Also hasn't Norton been the top for a while now?
