<body text="PC Tools Spyware Doctor 3.2 swept away the opposition in last month's anti-spyware group test, taking a place on the A List as a result. This month, we're delighted to include the full product, complete with six months of updates, exclusively on the PC Pro disc.
There are plenty of products to appeal to personal users too: a full English dictionary and thesaurus, plus Adobe's Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 for organising and quickly editing digital photos. That's before mentioning our deal with Napster to try out its superb subscription service for a month. Businesses aren't forgotten either, with Marketing Materials Creator Lite plus Genie Backup Manager 6 Lite, which lets you backup to a LAN.
Finally, please take a look at our Editorial section for all the bonus material and programs to accompany this month's Labs.
<main text="Each month's PC Pro cover disc delivers the greatest selection of full software and world exclusive releases from the biggest brand names in software publishing." />
