Keeping on top of the latest spyware isn't always easy. We can't afford to be lax with our security and it's too easy to rely on freeware security tools to do the job. But can you trust these developers to have the developer resources to keep on top and pro-actively prevent the latest virus, Trojan horse and spyware threats? For this reason, we've spent months attempting to convince one of the best anti-spyware developers, to give us their software as part of a special Christmas promotion for our readers. We're immensely proud to be able to offer the full commercial version of Webroot Spy Sweeper 5.5, along with a year worth of definition updates.

It doesn't stop there though. We've also secured the latest version of the superb anti-virus tool, AVG Anti-Virus 7.5 Professional, along with definition updates. Other highlights include Webroot Desktop Firewall 5.5, Ashampoo PowerUp Platinum 2 and Driver Genius 2006.

If you have bought the DVD edition, try Serif Page Plus 8 PDF, which will enable you to design and print your own invitations, newsletters and more. We also have Steganos Safe One and a host of the latest Linux distributions.

Important: Problems Obtaining Full Application Serial Codes
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).
