Reviews

  • Microsoft Security Essentials

    Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended for those who want something to set and ignore, but users who want more robust configuration choices or don't want to contribute to the cloud should look elsewhere.

  • Safari 4

    Apple is touting Safari 4 as the fastest browser on the web for both Windows and Mac. Depending on your computer's specs that may indeed be true. However, if you need more than speed, Safari may not be the best choice.

  • Skype 4.1 beta

    Skype's new screen-sharing feature is a clever addition to the VoIP communications application. The new beta also sees birthday reminders reinstated, a favourite feature of past builds.

  • Chrome (beta)

    Google has rethought the Internet browser — some of its basic underpinnings are quite novel — but users will recognise some features as they exist in other, open-source browsers on the market today.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Adobe Acrobat 9 document-creation software is adding dynamic features such as integration of animation, dynamic maps, 256-bit encryption, and improved forms. We've been playing with the beta edition of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

  • Adobe Photoshop Express Beta

    Though there's a lot to like about Adobe's first stab at online photo editing and sharing, you probably want to wait until the company fixes a few problems with the beta — and defangs its terms of service — before uploading scads of photos to Adobe Photoshop Express.

  • Ad-Aware 2007

    Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2007 came in dead last in our CNET antispyware testing. Ad-Aware failed to detect half of the test spyware, and unlike nine out of the 10 other antispyware apps we reviewed in December 2007, left behind traces for all but one spyware.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)

    Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.
