Essential Utilities from PC Magazine

2004 Utility Guide: "You won't find firewall, antispam, antispyware, or traditional antivirus tools in here—they're essential utilities, but we've covered them recently; see our current favorites in the Editors' Choices section. But with new viruses coming at us faster than AV companies can write signatures to stop them, we take a hard look at alternative detection methods that attempt to root out new threats based on their behavior, not just their signatures.
