Latest Internet security

DirectPass
Trend Micro DirectPass 1.0 review
Internet security Software

Computer users are already well-served by password managers that bristle with features for little or no cost, which means Trend Micro DirectPass needs to offer considerably more than it currently does to be worth a tenner a year

Internet security Mobile phones Technology

Hoax version of hit application comes with added malware

ZoneAlarm
Checkpoint ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2012 review
Internet security Software

Internet security Software

PC Tools
PC Tools Internet Security (2012) review
Internet security Software

With a single-user price of just £13, it's hard to quibble over PC Tools' chatty firewall, but more accurate rivals have cheaper three-user versions

Bullguard Internet Security 2012 review
