Norton AntiVirus 2004 now includes tools to combat nonvirus threats such as adware and spyware.
The Pop-Up Internet ad has long been known to make gentlepeople curse, make Pastors raise their fists and stir the spirit of vengeance in pacifist grandmothers. Fear not gentle reader, help is at hand. Custom software can alleviate your pain.
The feature-rich versions of popular security program AVG have been updated, with AVG Technologies claiming faster scan times, faster boot times and other under-the-hood improvements.
Norton AntiVirus 2010 builds on the immense progress 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.

Antivirus software manufacturers all claim to protect us against threats, but how well do they actually perform? We put six popular business internet security packages to the test.
Kaspersky is a strong security suite, but that the extra features available in Internet Security make it worthwhile to pay for, whereas the standard Kaspersky Anti-Virus doesn't offer enough on its own to compare favourably against high-performing, free antivirus programs.
The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.
The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$200 category. An auto-document feeder, 1.8-inch LCD screen, and easy-to-use features make it an excellent choice for creative homes on a budget.
Wondering which endpoint security suite keeps your clients the most protected? Enex TestLab racks them all up and puts them through their paces.
The netbook market is so tight, you need some sort of competitive advantage to stand above the crowd. ViewSonic brings a standard netbook with two negatives instead poor battery life and a bad touchpad.
Going by older detection and removal numbers, Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware offers competent if basic security protection. However, so do many free competitors. This year, we recommend giving Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 a pass.
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but questionable efficacy and middling performance mean it's a program we're not recommending for this year.
The Toshiba NB200 is an excellent netbook we just wish someone would evolve the platform already, but with Microsoft and Intel holding the reigns it doesn't seem set to happen soon.
Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.
