  • Norton Internet Security 2010

    Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2010

  • Toshiba Satellite U500

    Toshiba's Satellite U500 wants to be portable and powerful, which has a negative impact on both the battery life and the weight. Still, if you need power in a petite package, the U500 might do it for you.

  • Jamie Whincup talks tech and cars

    Last year Jamie Whincup not only won the Bathurst 1000, but he was also crowned V8 Supercar champion for the first time. We sat down with him after yesterday's launch of the Norton 360 v3 and Symantec's announcement of its sponsorship deal for the Sandown V8 Supercar race.

  • Don't buy stand-alone antivirus: Trend Micro

    Stand-alone antivirus applications were dangerous because they could not adequately protect users and so created a false sense of security, according to the top malware expert at Trend Micro. However, the company continues to sell its stand-alone antivirus app because of 'customer demand'.
