  • Intel touts security with second-gen vPro PCs

    Chipmaker will release its "LaGrande" security technology in the second half of the year with the launch of its second-generation vPro business desktop technology.

  • System Mechanic 7 Professional

    System Mechanic 7 Professional goes beyond its original greatness, morphing a system utility suite into a kind of grand security suite. As such, it comes up short.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

    Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

  • McAfee Wireless Protection

    With McAfee Wireless Protection, McAfee enhances last year's stand-alone wireless protection application with a few new features, however much of what you can do with McAfee Wireless Protection is available for free with Windows XP.

  • McAfee Total Protection 2007

    McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.

  • Intel vPro lands in ANZ

    Intel today launched the vPro desktop platform in Australia and New Zealand, claiming the technology will reduce support costs, improve hardware security and make PCs easier to manage. However, newly found partner Apple has no plans to include vPro in its line of offerings.

  • McAfee VirusScan Plus 2007

    Despite a face-lift, the redesigned McAfee VirusScan Plus continues to consume system resources and leaves its customers lacking support.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 6

    Kaspersky Internet Security 6 provides thorough protection against online threats, but ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 remains a better buy.

  • Laplink PCDefense

    As a security app, Laplink PCDefense needs a thorough interface overhaul and perhaps a rethink about its purpose before we can recommend it.

  • ZoneAlarm Internet Security 6.0

    ZoneAlarm Security Suite puts Norton and McAfee to shame with its easy-to-use triple-layer firewall, antivirus, antispam and now antispyware features.

  • The intruder at the gate

    Once simply alarm systems for the network, Intrusion Detection Systems have evolved to encompass a whole lot more. We review six sophisticated security devices.

  • Wireless crackdown

    The spread of convenient wireless LANs has delighted hackers, who find many WLANs vulnerable. Managing and securing a wireless network is therefore vital, but rarely done well. ZDNet Australia compares the offerings from AirDefense and AirMagnet.

  • Bluetooth phones at risk from 'snarfing'

    A serious Bluetooth security vulnerability allows mobile phone users' contact books to be stolen. You've heard of bluejacking - now meet 'bluesnarfing'

    Protect your PC from Internet nasties by installing one of these easy-to-configure and free software firewalls.

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
  • Array D'Ascenzo: Read p23 of security review
    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
