Reviews

  • Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008

    Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008 offers a variety of features designed for the home and small office.

  • Google Talk beta

    With an interface that lacks ads, the simple Google Talk beta dresses up its features by allowing you to leave and receive free voicemail messages, transfer files, and find out what music your buddies are tuning in to.

  • Nero SIPPS Connect

    If you value your sanity, avoid Nero's SIPPS Connect VoIP service and stick with Skype 2 for both Internet and analog VoIP calling.

  • Google Talk

    With an interface that lacks ads but is also short on features, this early Google Talk beta serves Gmail users who want to chat via text or voice.

  • ICQ 5.04

    Easy, free services make ICQ 5.04 a fine choice for voice, keyboard, or Webcam chats, but MSN Messenger 7.0 and Yahoo Messenger 7.0 offer more features.

  • Yahoo 360 (beta)

    Although blogging is a major part of this service, Yahoo 360 is more of a social networking tool that bundles, perhaps, too many services together.

  • MSN Messenger 7.0

    A fun and feature-packed IM applet, MSN Messenger 7.0 is a great upgrade for version 6.2 users, but we prefer the less intrusive Yahoo Messenger 6.0 and ICQ 4.1.

  • ZoneAlarm Internet Security 5.5

    ZoneAlarm Security Suite puts Norton Internet Security and McAfee Internet Security to shame with its easy-to-use features.
