SocialShield Monitors Your Child's Social Networking
Activity
SocialShield tracks all of a child's activity on Facebook,
MySpace, Twitter, Google+, and FormSpring, warning parents
when it detects bullying, suspicious friends, or other
problems. If parents can't end a cyberbullying problem, the
company promises to help. This is one impressive monitoring
tool.

Trusteer Report: Trojan Defeats Banking Security
Securing a financial site with simple username and password
authentication isn't such a great idea, as any hacker or
keylogger that captures your credentials gains full access
to the account. Many banks and financial sites have begun
adding a second layer of authentication, texting a code to
your phone that you use to complete the login. Researchers
at Trusteer have discovered that even this two-factor
authentication system isn't perfect.

BullGuard Antivirus 12 Is a Bit Hit or Miss
This product displays uneven capabilities. Its malware
blocking scores approach those of the very best products,
but it set new records for poor malware cleanup. Its bonus
phishing protection and spam filtering aren't very accurate.
These ups and downs average out to a good product, but you
can do better.

When Windows Security Goes Rogue: A Malware Security
Nightmare
You've heard--and perhaps lived--this security nightmare
before: A technologically trepidatious parent gets a
computer only to have it menaced by malware. In the best-
case scenario, it's a technical headache; for the less
fortunate, however, an infected computer can mean lost
credit card numbers and a newfound sense of powerlessness.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
