Spyware Doctor 5 with AntiVirus

Spyware Doctor has been around for years, protecting PCs against adware, Trojans, keyloggers and more, but in the ultra-competitive world of Internet security that's no longer quite enough. And so PC Tools have added a powerful antivirus engine, to protect against the full range of online threats. Even better, you can receive definition updates to protect further.

McAfee Personal Firewall Plus 7

Some PC security measures can be regarded as optional, but a decent firewall isn't one of them. Honeypot tests consistently show the average PC is attacked within minutes of going online, and sometimes just a few seconds, which means you can't ever afford to go unprotected. Install and you won't have to worry about these online attacks any more.

Backup4All 3 Lite

Once you've equipped your PC with security tools, it's easy to feel that your data is now safe from harm. But of course while you've successfully blocked most external malicious attacks, there are still plenty of other dangers to consider. Hardware failure and program bugs are just as capable of wiping out valuable files, which is why regular backup tools are a vital part of any security regime. And Backup4all is the ideal tool to help.

McAfee QuickClean 6

It's always the same. Your new PC turns up and it's hard to imagine how you'll ever fill all that hard drive space, but your drive is now clogged with "temporary" files that have somehow become permanent, remnants of programs you uninstalled long ago, unnecessary duplicate files, and more. And that's when you need a maintenance tool like McAfee QuickClean 6.

Genie Backup Manager Pro 5

At first glance the PC world seems packed with backup tools, but take a closer look and you'll find most of these aren't as they seem. Annoying restrictions are common and very few programs seem to have the flexibility to deal with real life situations. But don't let such problems put you off trying out Genie Backup Manager 5.0 Pro with a suite of powerful tools.

Avery Wizard 3.1

At first you thought it would be simple. After all, you've got a copy of Microsoft Office, so printing out some name badges should be a cinch, right? But then you gave it a try, and the reality was very different. You didn't have the template you needed, it was tricky to get the card layout right, you had to read up on how to merge the data from Excel: eventually everything worked, but it was much trickier than you'd imagined.
