This month's CD is a real cracker (even if it's a bit early for Christmas), and one we hope you'll agree is packed with loads of great additions to your armoury of top Web applications.

Most notably, thanks to the guys at professional security specialist F-Secure, we've managed to get hold of a FREE full year's license to one of the very best software packages currently available to protect you against the nastier side of Web surfing.

Designed to combat the latest generation of Internet security threats such as Sobig and Blaster, F-Secure Internet Security 2003 normally sells for £45, and combines F-Secure's award winning, automated anti-virus detection software with an easy-to-use, pre-configured personal firewall, allowing you to surf the Internet, open email attachments and use your computer without fear of virus infections or hackers. The software is highly automated, easy to use and install, giving you the highest levels of security protection instantly. And with automated up-to-the-minute virus definition updates via the Internet, you'll always be up to speed with the latest Internet-borne threats.

As if that wasn't enough, we've also rounded up as many of the top Webmaster tools mentioned in Scott's excellent cover feature as we could for you. You'll find them located on the This Issue page. As always, we've also included updates of all sorts of other popular or downright essential apps, to ensure your files are the freshest available without wasting your own time downloading all those new versions. There are also programs from our regular Hot Downloads section and loads of other pieces of software on your CD to support this month's step-by-step projects.

We're already hard at it searching for content for next months' CD, so keep mailing us and visiting our forums with more ideas for the disk. We love reading all your feedback.
