A new web threat hits your computer every 2.5 seconds. And with 83% of Internet users in Australia banking online, identity theft on the rise and more confidential information being stored on the web than ever before, regularly updating your online security system is essential. If you’re currently on the look-out to switch security software, purchase Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 today and they will credit you your remaining subscription.

Whereas previous methods of testing security software were done on offline PCs, NSS Labs, an independent network testing facility, has developed a new method to test security software against threats using a real-world, online computing environment.

Using this new procedure, NSS Labs tested the leading security systems to show which vendor offered the best protection. Trend Micro, and its Internet Security Pro 2010, blitzed the field, scoring significantly higher than any other security vendor thanks to the unique protection of Smart Protection Network.

As the only security solution that stops threats in the cloud, before they get to your computer, Pro 2010 offers better protection to customers— from the biggest corporate enterprises to families in their homes. You don’t have to download updates or definitions; The Trend Micro Smart Protection Network automatically updates itself every second.

So if you are considering an alternate security solution, don’t wait another second. Buy Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010 today and they will credit you your remaining subscription. So what are you waiting for?

So we know it gets us places and lets us zoom, but what else does Nokia’s 6710 Navigator do? Well, it’s a phone for one thing.

As seems to be standard in Nokia phones these days, the 6710 Nav has a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash, making for some pretty high quality pictures (macro focus mode and panoramic image stitching, anyone?). The little beast features a 2 GB MicroSD card and 50MB internal user memory, with pre-loaded regional maps, all of which you can view on the large 2.6″ display. And when you discover and snap all those new places, tell your friends, through finding and sharing messages, location tags, reviews and experiences online.

The keypad is easy to use and the curved design sits comfortably in your hand.

The Nokia 6710 Navigator was made widely available at the beginning of October through Optus, and coming soon to Vodafone, Hutchison 3 and selected retailers for a RRP of $629.

GPS phones are definitely all the rage these days, but that doesn’t mean they actually make navigating easy. The Nokia 6710 Navigator does, though. And it’s all thanks to the touch-sensitive zoom bar.

Tucked in below the display, this nifty little feature lets you zoom in and out of maps on the 2.6″ screen. Just drag your finger in whatever direction you want. And if that little gem isn’t enough to jump up and down like a goose, wait for it; the zoom panel also works in the web browser and media gallery.

We’ve heard that Nokia’s 6710 Navigator helps you drive places without getting ~~pissed off~~ revved up. But that doesn’t mean that the navigation help ends when the engine stops.

As well as instant access to maps, turn-by-turn drive and walk navigation, the 6710 Nav lets you search for restaurants, bars, music venues, shopping destinations, transport, ATMs and more with the inclusive online City Guides provided by Lonely Planet and WCities.

“The Nokia 6710 Navigator will soon render the age-old map reading obsolete,” said Gill Hollister, Nokia’s product and technology manager, Australia and New Zealand. “The ability to navigate via a mobile, which you already carry around with you, has obvious advantages.”

Yes, it certainly does.
