An anti-virus solution for Windows that's free, respects your personal privacy and doesn't get in your face? I'm currently trialling Avast! Free, a free-to-download package from Alwil Software.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z is an all-in-one desktop PC that's designed to save space yet still provide good performance when running office applications.
The Kodak ESP 3250 All-in-One colour inkjet multifunction printer is very inexpensive, and it prints superior images on photo paper. Otherwise, it is an average-quality, rather slow machine, appropriate for light-duty school or home use.
Fujitsu's LifeBook line has produced some impressive contenders among tablet PCs, and the Fujitsu LifeBook T4410 rates as a solid and versatile performer for business users.
The Kodak ESP 5250 All-in-One colour inkjet multifunction printer costs only £160 and includes Wi-Fi connectivity - a nice feature to have at this price point.
