Reviews

  • Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

    Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

    Kaspersky's 2010 updates for its Internet Security and Anti-Virus programs introduce several useful features, including behavioural-based threat detection, program sandboxing and a gamer mode.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

    Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

  • BitDefender Antivirus 2008

    BitDefender Antivirus 2008 has greatly improved since last year; we'd like more access to configuration options beyond simple enabling and disabling features.

  • Windows Live Hotmail

    Drag-and-drop message organisation and a built-in MP3 player are among the notable new features to this radical overhaul of Hotmail.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007

    Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 was hard to install and produced several noticeable glitches that distracted us from the benefits of the suite.

  • Microsoft Office Standard 2007

    Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is a worthy upgrade if you need to make sleeker-looking documents and presentations. But you stick to your current software if you don't feel that it lacks anything.
