Issue 264 of Computer Shopper has just hit the shelves. This month, you can read the surprising results of our anti-virus group test, where we've tested 10 of the most popular paid-for and free security software.

We've also reviewed nine desktop PC base units - systems without a monitor or other peripherals. We've tested computers costing between £380 and £490, including several Intel Core 2 Quad and AMD Phenom II PCs. With low prices and no unnecessary extras, they're perfect if you want to upgrade and save money by reusing your existing peripherals.

For the serious photography enthusiast, we've reviewed eight digital SLR cameras, from £370 to £799. We've also included a round-up of six standalone Blu-ray players and three Blu-ray home cinema kits, complete with 5.1 surround-sound speakers. They're perfect if you want to make the upgrade to full HD in time for Christmas. They won't break the bank either, with prices starting from £130.

As usual, you'll find scores of reviews of the latest products, including Iiyama's brand new multitouch 22in monitor, Apple's latest iMac and Acer's Aspire 5940G, the first Core i7 Mobile laptop we've seen.

We've also got top gadgets like Amazon's Kindle 2 ebook reader, Samsung's HMX-U10 mini camcorder, Sandisk's Sansa Clip+ MP3 player and Logitech's Squeezebox Radio. You'll also find reviews of Activision's amazing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, CyberLink's MediaShow 5 photo and video management software and the latest edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Finally, you'll find everything you need to know about keeping your kids safe online by using OpenDNS to control exactly what websites they have access to, a look at the future of cloud computing and electronic books, plus our guide to perfecting your video editing.
