  • BitDefender
Computer viruses are smarter, more aggressive, more prolific and more dangerous than ever before. This isn’t fear-mongering – it’s the truth.

 
As much as Windows Vista promises a safer, more secure working environment, the reality is that without a good antivirus package, your computer is vulnerable. Having beaten out rivals Kaspersky, F-Secure, PC-cillin, McAfee, Norton and AVG to snatch the coveted 2007 Antivirus Software Report Gold Award, BitDefender is the best-rounded, effective and secure PC security package on the market. BitDefender products include Antivirus, Antivirus Plus, and Internet Security Editions. The vanilla Antivirus Edition, also known as the Standard Edition, includes BitDefender's award-winning antivirus program and offers real-time antispyware protection. It's perfect for the home user who needs something powerful yet simple and unobtrusive. Somewhat more robust is Antivirus Plus, BitDefender's Professional Edition. With antispyware, antivirus and antispam protection, antivirus plus also features a firewall to restrict unauthorised access to the Internet. It's suitable for mission-critical computers in small businesses, and for use on powerful, Internet-connected home computers. Most feature-rich of all is BitDefender Internet Security Edition, an all-in-one, comprehensive PC security package for the power user or permanently connected PC. This top of the range product not only includes all the antivirus and malware protection one could require, but employs advanced stealth capabilities to hide the computer from prying eyes on the Internet, and with built-in parental control, access to objectionable content and instant messenger or chat programs can be restricted. You can even configure the software to limit Internet access to certain periods of the day, ensuring the kids don't spend all day on the Internet. BitDefender works. Its award-winning technology offers some of the fastest response times to new threats, and features such as B-HAVE block 65% of all new viruses. It's a complete PC security solution that integrates itself into your desktop for complete protection, and due to its streamlined design, does so without significantly slowing down your machine.

  • Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
Long considered to be the very locus of ­control and performance, the high-grade laser mouse is hugely popular among ­professional gamers looking for that extra edge over the ­competition.

Logitech's G5 laser mouse certainly doesn’t ­disappoint then. The optical sensor itself is a 2000 dpi laser, offering unparalleled accuracy and pixel-perfect control. It's great whether you're flickjumping in Quake 3, sniping in Counter-Strike or simply working in Photoshop. With an ergonomic shape and textured fingergrips, you've got a mouse that feels dextrous and ­nimble, without compromising control.

It's ­certainly not cheap though, but  you're getting a lot of mouse. Variable sensitivity controls, slick feet for effortless movement and interestingly enough, a weight cartridge with tiny, individual weights to ­customise the mouse's heft. For the professional gamer or graphic designer, it's an exceptionally responsive and tractable mouse.Read more
