Comparative review: Windows XP: Matt Ham puts 26 AV products for Windows XP through their paces. Two products enter the test line-up for the first time this month: TrustPort Antivirus and the rather more well-known Microsoft OneCare. In his own inimitable style, Matt provides rude comments and/or praise for all products, as well as the all-important VB 100% results.
SpamOrHam: John Graham-Cumming describes the aims of and ideas behind the SpamOrHam project - a website where members of the public can donate their time to anti-spam research.
