Best Antivirus for 2013

We survived the Mayan apocalypse and made it to 2013. So did malware writers around the world; now's not the time to slack off on antivirus protection. About two thirds of the security vendors I track have updated for 2013, and about half of those celebrate the year by including 2013 in the current product name.
Year over year the same security products tend to be top scorers, but there's room for change. Here are the best from the current crop of antivirus products.
The Best Products
The antivirus field is huge; I currently track over forty products. In a field that big there's room for multiple winners.
Three products share the Editor's Choice honor for best overall antivirus: Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013$29.95 at Walmart.com, Norton AntiVirus (2013)$24.98 at Discount Mountain, and Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus 2013 $19.99 at Webroot. Norton and Webroot tied for top score in my malware removal test, with 6.6 points. Bitdefender, with 6.4 points, wasn't far behind.
