Review An excellent all-in-one PC defence: Norton Internet Security 2004 is the best all-in-one security suite, thanks to its fine spam filter.

McAfee VirusScan 8.0 review
Review VirusScan 8.0 sports a trimmer profile, a simpler interface and fast performance, but support is more of a hassle than before.

Norton AntiVirus 2004 review
Review NAV 2004 is still a good choice for first timers, but its minor improvements mean that NAV 2003 users need not upgrade.

Sophos Anti-Virus 3.7 review
Review This well-designed anti-virus program is best suited for networked PCs rather than standalone systems. It’s relatively expensive, but worth the money.

Chirson PC Immobiliser review
Review PC Immobiliser is a simple device that should increase the security of any PC or notebook, and make it less attractive to thieves. The use of iButtons to restrict access to anyone who doesn’t have the correct token works seamlessly once set up.

Panda Antivirus Platinum 7.0 review
Review This virus hunter's new interface is simple to use, but Panda Antivirus Platinum stumbles on support and detection skills.

Norton AntiVirus 2003 review
Review For zapping viruses, worms and other malicious code, you can't go wrong with Norton AntiVirus 2003. However, current NAV users need not upgrade.

Simple Backup 4.71 review
Review If you know you'll be backing up only to CDs, save some money and buy Simple Backup. Otherwise, go with a more versatile program.

NovaBackup 6.6 - Workstation Edition review
Review NovaBackup is a fully-featured backup utility similar to Retrospect and GoBack. If you don't need incremental backups to keep track of multiple file changes, it's worth considering.

Norton Ghost 2002 review
Review You could use this specialised product to make backups against disaster, but it's too much trouble to use as an everyday backup tool.

Retrospect Desktop Backup 5.5 review
Review If you frequently revise documents, Retrospect's incremental backup system may be just right for you, but be prepared for a steep learning curve. For an easier backup system, we recommend Roxio's GoBack.

McAfee Internet Security 4.0 review
Review Most people won't need the extra security tools in McAfee Internet Security 4.0. You're better off buying the standalone VirusScan 6.0, or Norton AntiVirus 2002, and downloading a free firewall such as ZoneAlarm.

Norton Internet Security 2002 review
Review We love the firewall and anti-virus combo, but if all you want is a way to keep hackers at bay, Norton Internet Security 2002 costs too much. Get it if you need anti-virus protection too; otherwise, download the free ZoneAlarm firewall.
