ZoneAlarm Pro 3.0 review
Reviews The free version doesn't include many of Pro's better features (including ad blocking, cookie management and the extra information that Alert Advisor provides), but its firewall heart beats just as strongly.

Sony SNC-DF80P review
Reviews For instance, the camera can spot potential security threats such as an abandoned bag and automatically alert an operator. The camera delivers high sensitivity levels and relatively clear images, and has built-in intelligence that allows it to...

Norton Internet Security 2003 review
Reviews In case of an unavoidable attack, NIS 2003's new Alert Assistant provides more information about any suspicious activity, including whether the program that's attempting to connect contains a digital signature, which means that it's probably...

Norton's 2005 security line-up review
Reviews On the other hand, you can also whitelist certain trusted sites, such as your online bank account, to prevent needless alert notifications. Norton Internet Security 2005 introduces Outbreak Alert, a system of notifications of Internet threats and...

The large-file problem review
Reviews And since somebody has to pay for storage and bandwidth, you get limited capabilities for free -- premium plans get you more storage, bandwidth or access to your files (Web 2.0 jargon alert: this free-to-premium escalation plan is being called the...

vCharter Pro review
Reviews Another alert told us 33 percent of the RAM allocated to a VM running Windows was actually filled with zeros, and suggested that we could reduce the RAM allocation to that VM without affecting its performance.

MSN Messenger 4.6 review
Reviews The .Net Alert connection is important, since Microsoft is banking on this technology to bring in big money eventually. Imagine, for instance, your anti-virus software maker flashing you an alert as soon as a virulent virus is identified so that...

HP iPAQ H1940 review
Reviews The power button, located at the top of the device, contains an LED whose colour depends on the type of alert it's sending. Design Like the H1910, the H1940 measures 6.98cm by 11.3cm by 1.28cm -- it's about 1.3cm shorter and narrower than most...

Sophos Anti-Virus 3.7 review
Reviews But the Configuration and Alert buttons really should really be combined, as both lead you to roughly the same program settings. Setup & interface Sophos Anti-Virus installed quickly and painlessly from its CD-ROM.

Sony Ericsson P900 review
Reviews A vibrating ring alert means that you shouldn't miss incoming calls even if the phone is tucked away where you can't hear it. Much of the specification of the P900 is the same as the P800: a tri-band GSM phone with GPRS and MMS, Bluetooth, Memory...

VirusScan 6.0 review
Reviews When it detects an anomaly, VirusScan pops up an alert and gives you a chance to either delete or fix the infected file or quarantine it in a lockbox where it can't make mischief. Although this update costs slightly more than its predecessor, the...

HP iPAQ Pocket PC H1910 review
Reviews There's an LED at the top of the device that changes colours depending on the type of alert that it's sending. Design We're impressed that HP has managed to reduce the size of the H1910 without shrinking its screen.

Acer F900 review
Reviews There is also an LED above the screen which blinks red, blue or green for different kinds of alert; it's small, and not always easily visible against its black background, particularly in bright ambient lighting.

Norton AntiVirus 2005 review
Reviews One noteworthy upgrade is the Protection Alert screen, which allows you to specify a period of inactivity when disabling NAV's real-time virus scanner -- a necessary evil when installing some programs.

Norton Internet Security 2002 review
Reviews NIS 2002 relies on Norton Alert Tracker (as did NIS 2001) to warn you if someone is trying to break into your PC. Like earlier editions, NIS 2002 configures itself nearly automatically. Just load up the CD, install and reboot.
