Ironkey S200
RRP: $388.83 $104.20
0.00
The IronKey is targeted at people who need to go that extra mile for security and are willing to pay for it, but if you must have the highest possible reliability and encryption, this drive should be at the top of your portable storage list.

WatchGuard Firebox Peak X5500e
RRP: $5990.00
4.00
WatchGuard Firebox Peak X5500e isn't easy to set up, but its use of XML configuration files works wonders for managing configuration across any number of devices and locations. Apart from complex initial configuration, this is a highly manageable, enterprise-grade, proxy-based firewall with impressive throughput, granular control, and an excellent price.

Comodo Internet Security
RRP: $0.00
3.50
Our experience with Comodo Internet Security's antivirus component leaves us little reason to recommend it. Other pieces of free antivirus software do much better at protecting a PC. Comodo's firewall might be useful (again, we didn't test this feature), but its antivirus is definitely not.

AVG Technologies 8.5 Free
RRP: $0.00
4.25
AVG 8.5 Free is well-rounded overall, but its second-tier malware detection rate should make you consider one of the better-performing programs first.

PC Tools Threatfire 4.5
RRP: $0.00
4.50
Although Threatfire is designed to run with other apps, and we had no problems in our tests, it has conflicted with AVG in the past. That aside, we recommend PC Tools Threatfire 4.5 as a strong extra layer of defence. It's free, so grab it.

Avira Antivir Personal
RRP: $0.00
4.50
Some less-than-friendly default behaviours make Avira AntiVir Personal a better choice for tech-savvy users who know how to muck about in the settings. If you're willing to put up with a somewhat clumsy interface and the recurring pop-up ads, in return you'll enjoy top-notch, free protection against malware. It's not a bad trade-off by any means.

Alwil Avast Antivirus Home Edition
RRP: $0.00
4.50
Alwil Avast Antivirus Home Edition will do a decent job protecting a PC from malware, and it's free, but if you're willing to put up with a less-than-perfect interface (and some ads), you're better off going with Avira's top-notch blocking.

Practisoft Thunderbird to Outlook Express 1.0
RRP: $0.00
4.00
Insects or no, Thunderbird to Outlook Express 1.0 (in conjunction with Outlook Express Eml Importer, better known as OEImporteml.exe) saved us a heap of work getting our email from Thunderbird to Outlook. Did we just say Outlook? Yup, OE was only a way-stop. Outlook won't import Thunderbird files, however, it will import email from Outlook Express. So if you need to migrate email from Thunderbird to Outlook Express or Outlook, get out your flyswatter and download Tbird2OE.

Secunia PSI
RRP: $0.00
4.00
Secunia PSI won't do away with the need to run a good antivirus program and firewall on your PC. But it provides a solid layer of free protection that no PC should do without.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2010
RRP: $49.95
4.00
Features-wise Kaspersky 2010 is a definite step-up from its predecessor. It’s always had a strong feature list but it trod lightly on our clunkier system, having little impact on performance — providing you discount the high CPU use in the Safe Run ‘sandbox’ mode. Kaspersky Internet Security 2010's detection rates have been higher in the past but it remains a top five security bundle.

Caelo Software NEO Pro 4.0
RRP: TBA
3.00
The biggest downside to NEO Pro 4.0 is its cost: US$50 seems a bit hefty to us. But you do get a 90-day free trial, after which you just may find that you can't go back to life before NEO Pro.

Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010 beta
RRP: $0.00
0.00
So should you download this beta version of Norton Internet Security 2010? Given its installation bugginess — and the fact that it appears that the subscription may last only 14 days — the answer is most likely no. And since it uninstalls whatever security program is already running, you certainly won't want to put it on your primary computer. The software is set to be final sometime in the autumn; you'd do well to wait until then.

G-Data InternetSecurity 2010
RRP: $29.95
4.50
In our comparative reviews, G-Data InternetSecurity 2010 was the best all-around suite, offering both protection — it can to detect and block traditional malware while deploying superior heuristics to stop newer threats — and several additional security features for one low price.
