It's very rare to come across full desktop publishing software on the front of a magazine. DTP software is flexible in that you can use it to design your own business documents (invoices, newsletters) or creative work for home, such as an invitation or a clever 'thank you' letter. Luckily we've got the full version of Serif PagePlus 8 for you to install. Security is still a major issue and we've got two fantastic security tools this month. First up is PC Tools Privacy Guardian 4 which will enable you to hide and remove your personal data and information about the websites you've visited. McAfee SpamKiller 2005 will prevent spam from clogging your inbox.

Other highlights include the rather excellent font manager, Font Expert 2004, and Ashampoo Movie Shrink & Burn 2005 which will compress your home videos for distribution on the web or via email.

If you've bought the DVD edition, you'll also find NovaPDF Lite 2.5 which will enable you to produce PDF documents from most Windows applications. If your a gamer, you'll find both FIFA 2007 and LMA 2007 and Linux users will find the release candidate 2 of Mandriva 2007, as well as Gentoo Linux 2006.1 and much more. Don't forget our massive Resources section which contains a few full previously-covermounted applications.

Spam Filters (local and server-side spam filters)
Over the last few months, we've noticed that readers have had problems obtaining serial codes from online registration pages. This isn't always a problem with the online registration page, but a problem with anti-spam filters, which filter out the incoming email (containing the serial code). If you have an internal anti-spam filter installed on your computer, check your 'junk mail' or 'spam' folder, to see if the email has accidentally been classed as spam.

Alternatively, you may find that you're Internet service provider (ISP) has implemented a server-side anti-spam filter. A server-side anti-spam filter filters email at the ISP...so you don't even see the spam. However, the downside is that any email that your ISP classes as 'spam' means that it gets filtered, by your ISP. Our advice would be to turn off your ISP server-side anti-spam filter and use a filter on your system, which means that spam is filtered by your own preferences (ie what you regard as spam).
