Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 review
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 doesn’t exactly shake up the market; it’s basically a tweaked and improved version of KAV 2010. But can it live up to its predecessor’s competent performance? We find out. What we like best The malware detection rate on Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2011 is great. Independent testers West Coast Labs, ICSA Labs and Virus [...]
HP Pavilion p6675uk review
Thursday, January 13, 2011
HP’s Pavilion p6675uk isn’t going to get anyone very excited, but hey not everyone needs a sports car of a computer, often a family saloon will do. We check out whether it’s a worthwhile home and office workhorse. What we like best The Pavilion p6675uk squeezes some good components into that glossy black casing. The [...]
HP Pavilion s5650uk review
Wednesday, January 5, 2011
The HP Pavilion s5650uk is one of the slimmest desktop towers we’ve seen. So we were eager to see whether it was nifty little addition to the office or just too small and underpowered to be much use. What we like best Slim line – that’s an understatement; I’ve owned bigger laptops. At just over [...]
HP TouchSmart 600-1220uk review
Wednesday, December 22, 2010
The HP TouchSmart 600-1220uk is HP’s top of the line touchscreen all-in-one, and it’s crammed full of premium components, with a price tag to match. We get physical with it and see if we can be converted to big-screen, touch-screens. What we like best The touchscreen experience is great with HP’s oversize widgets making it [...]
Corel WordPerfect Office X5 Standard review
Wednesday, November 10, 2010
I’m writing this review on Microsoft Word. Nothing unusual there, Word is part of the world’s most popular office suite, but a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away Microsoft played second fiddle to WordPerfect. Times changed, lawsuits followed and Office now rules the roost and it’s hard to find people who ever [...]
AVG Antivirus 2011 review
Wednesday, November 3, 2010
AVG is best known for its free antivirus software. So is it worth coughing up the pounds for the new paid for edition – AVG AntiVirus 2011 (AV 2011)? We find out. AVG Free is pretty limited, but it’s free, so the paid for edition has to offer a lot more to really persuade us [...]
Asus K Series K50IJ review
Monday, October 18, 2010
The ASUS K50IJ is billed as a budget laptop that covers all the basics such as browsing, email and office tasks with a little bit more audio/visual power. We find out whether it’s any better than the rest of the saturated budget laptop market. What we like most Let’s face we don’t all need a [...]
Kaspersky Internet Security 2011 review
Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Kaspersky have updated Internet Security with some great new features, and it remains a powerful security package. It offers anti-malware alongside parental controls, safe surfing and a host of other extras. PC Site checks out whether it’s worth the extra pennies. What we like best Kaspersky designers may have simplified the interface, but that doesn’t [...]
ASUS U Series UL50 review
Monday, October 4, 2010
The Asus U Series UL50 is a sleek and attractive laptop that manages to squeeze a few surprises into its thin frame. The first thing to notice with the UL50 is that it uses the less powerful Intel Core 2 Duo, in order to extend battery life. It’s not a bad processor by any means, [...]
McAfee Family Protection review
Monday, September 27, 2010
McAfee’s Family Protection is one of the best ways to monitor what your children access online and ensure that their internet experience is a happy and safe one. What we like best One of the first things you notice on installation is the gloriously simple McAfee interface. It makes navigation and setting up your system [...]
