  • First Take: McAfee VirusScan 8.0

    Though it doesn't include a firewall anymore, VirusScan 8.0 will detect and remove adware and spyware, as well as malicious worms and scripts.

  • Antivirus hardware: 3 appliances tested

    If e-mail security is giving you headaches, before you turn to voodoo magic, try one of these hardware appliance solutions.

  • Microsoft moves into antivirus realm

    Antivirus software makers aim to protect users against Internet threats, but now have to face a new threat of their own: Microsoft.

  • Red Cross solicitation is a Trojan horse

    Before you entrust your credit card information to a malicious user, find out what the American Red Cross has to say about the Septer Trojan horse.

  • Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8

    Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery 8 provides flexibility when creating desktop and laptop backups. If you have high value data stored on your computer, then we think $106.53 is a reasonable price to ensure it's protected.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2008

    As we await final code and therefore test results on the overall performance of this year's version of Norton AntiVirus, the new interface and features alone do not suggest an automatic KO in our latest antivirus roundup of 2008 products.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2007

    By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.

  • Symantec pumps up Windows Mobile protection

    Symantec is preparing to launch a mobile-security suite for Windows Mobile devices that it says will offer the same level of security for handhelds as is standard for PCs.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • Norton Save & Restore

    Despite a few cosmetic negatives and a general lack of technical support, Norton Save & Restore is a decent backup app.

  • Is Mac OS X weaker than Windows?

    Alarmist advice and unbacked claims by security software vendor Symantec has the Macintosh community up in arms.

  • Norton Internet Security 2006

    Norton Internet Security 2006 is a solid security suite, but it bogs down PC performance. Though it's a reasonable upgrade for entrenched Norton fans, it offers users less bang for the buck than ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.

  • Symantec 'scare tactics' don't rattle Mac users

    Security vendor Symantec has once again pointed the knife at Apple Macintosh users.

  • Norton SystemWorks 2006 Premier

    The core utilities in Norton SystemWorks 2006 Premier lack newer options found elsewhere; some older utilities are simply deficient; it leaves Windows 98 and Me users out in the cold.

  • 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.

    News headlines about portable storage devices going missing are as common as muck, but the problem could be even more widespread than you suspect.
