Quick Heal Antivirus Plus 2007 Reviews

Quick Heal Antivirus Plus 2007 is the latest security suite to be released by Cat. A company called Agnitum provides the fire-wall packaged with the suite. The installer allows the user to update the virus def-initions and register during the installation process. The
standard features you would expect from an anti-virus program are all there. Files that can be pos-sible threats, can be tagged and quarantined to prevent any trouble. The DNA Scan feature looks for suspicious files, which can be quaran-tined and then sent to the Quick Heal labs for analysis. If the files are found as possible threats fixes for these virus or worms can be released in the next updates.In case of serious problems, an emer-gency disc can be created,
capable of scanning NTFS partitions. For any viruses that load with Windows, a scan can be set to run during the startup process. Quick Heal can scan your mail for any possible threats, but it lacks the fea-ture to monitor Web traffic for worms or other mali-cious code. Moving on to the fire-wall, live reporting of the connections being made to and from your machine is shown in well-sorted manner. It’s the same case with the log viewer, which stores the history of all net-work traffic and attacks. All this can be a little confusing for the regular home user, but advanced users will find the information useful. The firewall can auto-matically scan network and set suitable permis-sions for them. Manually setting of permissions for the adapters and networks is easy. Users with multiple network adapters can opt to set one of the adapters as trusted and allow unre-stricted access. The inter-faces sported by the fire-wall and the antivirus are completely different some-thing the developes could have tried and unified. Good documentation is provided in a booklet as well as Windows help for both the anti-virus and the fire-wall. A single copy of Quick Heal Antivirus Plus 2007, which gives you a year of upgrades, is Rs 1,575. It does its job pretty well, but for the same price, there are competing products that come with spyware protec-tion and parental control...

Mercury HT 5800R Home Theatre 5.1 Channel System Reviews

Though this 5.1 channel system has a 5,800 watts PMPO, it has only 25 watts RMS for the satel-lites and 50 watts RMS for the subwoofer. The RMS power gives you an idea about the actual sound output that the system can achieve without distortion, whereas the PM PO output indicates the maximum out-put achievable by the system, albeit with distortions. The wires are long enough,and speaker stands and wall mountings are provided as well. One shortcoming is the ridiculously short power sup-ply wire. The system provides good performance and at Rs 7,000, it offers good value for money. The subwoofer is quite powerful and you can crank up the volume with-out experiencing too much distortion. If you’re looking to own a 5.1 speaker sys-tem, but are constrained by your budget, the Mercury HT 5800R offers a decent enough solution. How- ever, if you cannot settle for anything less than perfectsound, give this one a miss... SPECIFICATIONS : Four satellites at 25 W RMS, one subwoofer at 50 W RMS, w...

Mercury HT-4500 Reviews

The HT-4500 is a 5.1-chan-nel speaker set and each of the five satellites pumps out 6 watts RMS, while the subwoofer is capable of 20 W RMS power output. The black satellite speakers are compact and subwoofer. Also, the cable for the front channel speakers isn’t long enough for the speakers to be placed suffi-ciently far apart. The cable connecting the woofer to the soundcard is of the same colour, which can cause some confusion. The speakers give a good surround sound effect with reasonable clarity for a good home theatre experience and can also be connected directly to a DVD player. The performance in the low and mid frequencies is also good. However, the speakers are not built to listen at full well-designed, though a tad heavy. The subwoofer has the volume and fade controls on the front, which makes it dif-ficult to access these settings, as subwoofers are generally placed near the feet, with the front face ideally facing a reflecting surface. Another inconvenience is the power swi...

Che-ez Spyz Digital Camera Reviews

Spyz is slightly larger than a matchbox and comes in sil-ver and metallic blue. It bun-dles a dog tag and an USB cable, but oddly, misses the battery. The software bundle comprises the Che-ez manag-er, Arcsoft Photo Studio 2000 and the driver CD. The manual explains fea-tures such as sound beeps, LED and LCD displays very neatly. The device can take up to 26 photos in the high-resolution mode of 640 x 480 pixels, and 107 photos in the low resolu-tion mode of 320 x 240 pixels. Other features include a timer and continuous capture that turns the camera into a cam-corder. The Che-ez Manager also lets you convert frames into a movie in AVI format. The Spyz can also act as a Web camera when used with the Che-ez Manager or MS Netmeeting. However, some-times the manager does not recognise shortcut keys such as the [Alt] + [F4] combination for closing the program. The interface is also very basic and below par. The price tag may justify all the features of the Spyz, but the management software...
