Advantages: Virus, Spam, Spyware and Firewall all in one! Lots of updates!
Disadvantages: Some features could be improved.

...After my disastrous run-in with a similar product from Symantec ("good old" Norton Antivirus), I was still exposed and vulnerable while surfing the net. I stumbled across Trend Micro Internet Security while surfing, and while initially downloading the trial (available from www.trendmicro.co.uk). I was so impressed I decided to buy it!!! I was shocked to find that it wasn't listed for review on Ciao, but the good old guys listed it, because it is the best by far. Features Scanning: The program has a "Real-Time" scan feature, which basically means that it is constantly scanning different ports of entry for malicious programs of all varities. E-mail of the incoming/outgoing (i.e. Outlook) nature is scanned while being downloaded, and uploaded (to prevent you sending viruses to others). There is also a webmail virus scan... Read review

Advantages: Small, colourful, sleek design
Disadvantages: Monochrome

...The Zen Micro in my mind is a good step away from the Apple Ipod and the Ipod Minis, my sister owns this version of the Zen Micro and I have decided to review it. The dimensions of the Zen Micro are: 51 mm x 84 mm x 19 mm this makes it smaller then the Ipod but having a slightly larger depth then the mini. However, still remaining small it can easily be placed within jacket pockets and even tighter jean pockets. The curved back face ensures that it doesn't dig into your body. The Zen Micro range provides 5GB of storage space which is about 2,500 songs and can playback mp3 and WMA files upto 320kbps, which can be transferred by USB 2.0 and the use of the provided software. The player has an in-built fm radio which can store up to 32 radio stations. Audio quality is of a good standard, which is clear and to a good volume. However... Read review

Advantages: Never managed to get it installed
Disadvantages: Poor after sales

...Having used Pc-Cillin 2002 on a trial for 6 months, an found the whole product nothing less than Fantastic, when the trial licence expired, I had no qualms about buying and installing the lastest version Pc-Cillin 2005 Internet security V1.4. But that was where everything fell apart. I logged on to Trend Micro's website with ease, and found the product and discription with a few simple steps,,, and going through the selection, and purchase of the product was very very simple too. Then after paying for both a download and cd-rom backup by post, total costing £50 basically. I moved on to the download itself. All went very smoothly and the file size that was indicated was saved as recommended to my hard drive. Following the setup instructions was easy too. On starting the install, it detected the previous Pc-Cillin 2002... Read review

Advantages: Small, great looks, compatible with most formats
Disadvantages: Touch screen a little to fiddly

...?' or 'Have you done your report on the new pricing model yet?' - When could I use a portable mp3 player? So with that resounding conclusion that a personal music player was a gadget I really didn't need, why did I buy the Creative Zen Micro? I'll answer that later, just in case you are interested, did my gadget heart beat my mind into submission for a £140 gadget? In this review I have two parts, general info about music players and then a review of the Creative Zen. I have tried to cover all of the questions someone might have about a portable music player. If you are new to media players you should spend some time learning about the major differences in players. It will help you make a better informed decision before you buy. If you already are up to speed with music players and just want to know what's different about the Creative Zen... Read review

Advantages: Price. Offer at the moment eyeshadow plus three other items from range for £5.
Disadvantages: Doesn't last as long as the more expensive eyeshadows - but you can't grumble at the price.

...Another content of my make-up bag I'm afraid. You're probably thinking "How BIG is her make-up bag?", well pretty big, sorry folks, there will be more make-up products following shortly too! ! ! ! The Colour Trend Eyeshadow is £2.79, but at the moment, if you purchase an eyeshadow and three other items from the range, you can get them all for just £5 in total, which is a real bargain. The eyeshadow comes in these shades: Beige Frost - neutral colour Peppermint Pattie - dull blue / greeny colour Mocha - chocolate brown colour Suede - sandy brown colour Earth - dark bluey / blacky colour Stone - blacky / browny colour Lapis - deep blue colour Lagoon - bluey blue colour Lilac Whisper - pale lilac colour Tu Tu - candy pink colour Lazy - purpley / mauve colour It comes in a compact case, when you flip the lid open you...

Advantages: Fantastic, deep colour and smooth consistency
Disadvantages: Wears down quite quickley

...a striking colour. However the only down side is that it can only really be applied as an under eye liner and not as a top liner. The reason being, the line is too thick and it is hard to apply evenly. Also I found that my eyeliner shortened quite fast, however I have used it alot. Overall I definately rate this product highly, and have found the quality and colour to match more expensive brands such as clarins. Although the brand "colourtrend" is avons sub-trend for youngsters, I think this product is fab for adults and kids. The price is excellent at only £2.50 and often avon have a 3 for 2 offer aswell. As they are so good value you don't feel apprehensive in buying and experimenting with different colours.... Read review

Advantages: Large memory capacity, durable for its size, very reliable
Disadvantages: None really apart from it being quite small

...The Sandisk Micro-SDHC Secure Digital 8192 MB (8 GB) memory card is known as an SD micro card, basically because SD memory cards are the smallest you can currently purchase. It measures in at 15mm x 11mm and comes with an adapter when you purchase the card. The Micro SD card format is used mainly for mobile phones, because of the sheer size and the cards ability to hold huge amounts of data. Although, mainly built for mobile phone use, SD micro cards like the Sandisk Micro SD 8 GB can be used in devices such as hand-held GPS devices, portable audio players, video game consoles and numerous other devices. With the 8 GB of storage space, you can hold thousands of songs (approximately 2000), thousands of photos as well as hundreds of videos and other files. When you purchase the 8GB SD micro memory card you get an adapter with it... Read review

Advantages: A worthy cheaper rival to Pentium 4
Disadvantages: The AMD heatsink and fan is not good enough, and hard to attach to the motherboard

...The AMD XP3200+ is currently AMDs only processor capable of running on 400Mhz FSB motherboards without the need for overclocking, the processor is a socket A and you will need a compatible motherboard . Processors running on higher FSB (front side bus) speeds tend to get a better response when processing information, this is a big plus to consider when looking to upgrade to a AMD XP3200+ processor for your computer system. On most of todays socket A motherboards you will see that the processor frequency can be set at three different levels 133 for running 266mhz processors, 166 for running 333mhz processors and 200 for 400mhz processors, this is a must have piece of information that you will need to know especially when looking to purchase a processor, this is usually contained in your motherboards manual or at their official...

Advantages: Just so much cheaper than Intel Pentiums
Disadvantages: Slighty confusing chip names.

...Todays computer market is no longer dominated by Intel and this can only be a good thing. While Intel certainly have product recognition going for them they also have the stigma of being associated with incredibly high prices. It was no surprise then when other processor manufacturers started making a name for themselves who while still producing quality products cut the cost of buying decent high powered processor chips by an extreme amount. AMD are one such company but I would hasten to say that they are not just any company. AMD have made a name for themselves in the best way. Many AMD users like myself would agree that AMD are quite simply better and it is more often than not the case that once you have gone AMD you never look at another brand. While Intel have the higher profile and advertising at the moment AMD have product... Read review
