Online transaction security: Tips for staying safe

The Sims 3

The latest Sims game is also the greatest, striking a terrific balance between the fresh and the familiar.

Reviews

  • Sony PSP-3000

    With its impressive game library, lower price and expanded feature set, it's certainly a much better deal than the original PSP — and it's even better than the PSP 2000. While its media and online functions won't necessarily replace a dedicated AV device or laptop, it will be good for most portable gaming and multimedia needs.

  • Mozilla Thunderbird 2

    Thunderbird 2 provides a compelling option for users looking for an open source e-mail client.

  • 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.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

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

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 HD-DVD player

    While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.

  • Mozilla Firefox 2

    Mozilla Firefox 2 is a winner, beating Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 on security, features, and overall cool factor and deserving our Editors' Choice award.

  • Firefox 2 RC1

    Firefox 2 RC1 isn't meant for public consumption, but this early look demonstrates some cool new features in the next release of Firefox.

  • Norton Confidential beta

    While Norton Confidential beta from Symantec aims to protect your online transactions, and its antisphishing toolbar compares favourably to Netcraft's own offering, we found the Norton package to be overly large, including many other Symantec applets that seem unnecessary.

  • Gaming online: Which console is best?

    Game consoles aren't just stand-alone boxes anymore -- it's increasingly about what you can do with them online. If you are unsure about which next-gen console to pick up, we've put together a comparison of the Nintendo Wii, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, outlining all of their individual online features and costs.

  • GPS: not just for the car anymore

    Declining prices and improved miniaturisation mean GPS is making its way out of the car and into other gadgets. You may never get lost again.

  • Internet Explorer 7 vs. Firefox 2

    We put the latest browsers from Microsoft and Mozilla head-to-head and see which one emerges victorious.
