Is VirusBarrier X5 the Sexiest Antivirus Program?

Well, Bit9 seems to think so. They rate it first in the top three “sexiest” antivirus programs. Following VirusBarrier X5 are Hello Kitty Antivirus (certainly the most unique interface we’ve seen yet), and Susan Orman Identity Theft Kit (just because there’s a female face on the interface?). However, the latter program is not an antivirus, but rather a tool that claims to prevent identity theft.

We’re partial, of course, but VirusBarrier is the clear winner compared to those two programs. Hello Kitty looks too childish, and Susan Orman, well, she’s got a nice smile, but there’s not much else to recommend.

But if you scroll down the page, you can see the standardized, staid interfaces of Windows antivirus software. Aside from their logos, it’s hard to tell them apart. We prefer not only a unique interface, but one that makes working with the software easier.
