VirusBuster Professional 2006 Reviews

This is an anti-virus program from Hungary… but don’t let that put you off! Let’s take a look at what it offers in comparison to other anti-viruses…Post-installation, the first thing you see is the unconventional interface. There are no menus, and the icons are cartoonish! In addition, you end up going through multiple windows and clicks before actually scanning something. VirusBuster Professional has the standard set of features—the main file scanner, a shield that looks at
background processes, and an Outlook scanner. There is support for scanning network shares as well; the same interface is used for this. Different levels of sensitivity are available for each feature, and these can be altered by the user. The Quarantine feature lets you scan the quarantine folder after a virus database update, and there’s automated restoring of cleaned files. The updater lets you choose from different locations such as HTTP, FTP server, CD, etc. Security features were kept in mind as well. You can set an administrator so other users don’t tamper with the settings. The Rights Management lets you set permissions to the various components of the program. CPU utilisation spiked between 30 and 50 per cent, but the memory consumption hovered around the 30 MB mark, which is pretty OK. The help file is detailed, but is low on screenshots. The downloadable PDF manual, however, has plenty of screenshots for every feature and menu. VirusBuster Professional 2006 isn’t a market leader among anti-virus software for sure. It doesn’t come cheap either: Rs 1,400 for a year. For a similar price, there are plenty of other choices available. Most free anti-virus software sport smarter interfaces...

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...
