Reviews

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.
HP Pavilion dv2633XT Special Edition 'Verve'

The Verve is near perfect -- though it wouldn't hurt HP to squeeze out a little more battery life, thin out the crapware and to start supplying some realistic driver downloads.
Nero 8

Nero 8 shows off a new interface for getting started that makes the many tools easier to find from the get-go. Some welcome new features include HD support - although this rich suite can still confuse.
Windows Live Toolbar

Windows Live Toolbar can enhance the usefulness of Internet Explorer, make Web surfing more fun, and spare you some mouse clicks -- if you take the time to get acquainted with its features.
Yahoo Messenger with Voice 8

While Windows Live Messenger offers better file sharing and video chatting, Yahoo Messenger with Voice 8 stands out for its Net telephone service, photo sharing, novelty plug-ins, and embedded search.
Kaspersky Internet Security 6

Kaspersky Internet Security 6 provides thorough protection against online threats, but ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6 remains a better buy.
SiteAdvisor

SiteAdvisor is an easy-to-use and intuitive browser plug-in that identifies Web sites that might offer spyware-infected downloads and might spam their registered users.
McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006

McAfee Internet Security Suite 2006 packs a powerful protection arsenal -- but it's far too slow. Loyal McAfee users should upgrade for the automatic spyware and phishing blockers, but the rest of us should seek security elsewhere, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.
