Webroot Parental Controls review
Technology

Webroot suffers from a range of particularly poor filters, and it's identical to KidsWatch minus a couple of useful features.

CyberPatrol Parental Controls 7.7
Internet security

Although it's full of features, none is as well-implemented as in any of the other programs tested

ContentWatch Net Nanny 6.0 review
Technology

Full of intelligent features, and we liked the consensual filtering and IM monitoring, but it needs to pay more attention to UK sites.

Computer Business Solutions KidsWatch review
Technology

A fully featured product, but KidsWatch's filters are crude, and it's not good value, with far better parental software available.

Solid Oak Cyber Sitter 10 review
Technology

A huge disappointment, Cyber Sitter has been left behind by slicker rivals with more features that are easier to use for beginners.

Norton OnlineFamily.Norton review
Technology

Despite being in beta testing, Norton's product is slick and shows a lot of promise. Worth looking at if you're on a particularly tight budget.

Mesh Slayer Xtreme Gamer review
PCs

This great Core i7 PC has masses of upgrade potential and a great monitor. It's expensive, though, and there's no Blu-ray drive.

PCs

Despite great performance, noisy fans and high temperatures mean that this expensive Core i7 PC doesn't stand out from the crowd.

Scan 3XS P55 OC review
PCs

The 3XS is perfect if you want power without any hassle, but it lacks a Blu-ray drive, and the monitor is smaller than we'd expect.

RL Supplies Modula Enduro review
PCs

A two-year warranty and Blu-ray drive can't make up for the fact that you can buy a similarly specified PC for almost £300 less.
