  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.

  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.

  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.

• 

  Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac

  Microsoft plans to release Office for Mac 2008 on January 15, making this the first update in about four years. We've tested beta versions of the new applications over the last month without running into glitches.

• 

  Norton Internet Security 2008

  While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

• 

  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.

• 

  Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware 2008

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

• 

  Apple iWork '08

  Apple's new iWork becomes a more well-rounded productivity package by adding Numbers for spreadsheets. Pages and Keynote include some nifty visual enhancements too.

• 

  Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional

  For composing long PDF packages at an office that requires security and wants to use the new digital forms, Acrobat 8's got the goods, but it's overkill if you only seek to make short PDF files.

• 

  System Mechanic 7 Professional

  System Mechanic 7 Professional goes beyond its original greatness, morphing a system utility suite into a kind of grand security suite. As such, it comes up short.

• 

  ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 7

  ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is the least expensive paid antispyware option we reviewed, and also one of the very best.

• 

  CA Internet Security Suite 2007

  CA Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a pasted-together trial version of what CA offers in terms of consumer protection. The suite fails to integrate and lacks antiphishing, antirootkit, and basic IM protection found elsewhere.

• 

  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 Outlook 2007

  If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.

• 

  Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

  PowerPoint's new graphics features may make better-looking slide shows, but its new file format can require extra steps for sharing presentations.

• 

  Microsoft Word 2007

  If you're ready to let go of old habits from previous versions of Word and want to make sleeker-looking documents, Microsoft Word 2007 is worth the upgrade. However, less-expensive alternatives handle its core features without the clutter.

• 

  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.

• 

  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.

• 

  McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

  Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.
