System Suite 8 aims to cover all the bases when it comes to protecting PCs, whether from online threats or from malfunctions.

It includes protection against viruses and spyware as well as a firewall and anti-spam tool. That covers the online threats, and it does so competently.

There is a system optimiser and diagnostics utility, both of which check out the various components to make sure they are running correctly.

Although there are free tools online that will do all of this, System Suite 8 provides the whole lot in a set that is easy to install and use, and while we were reviewing the software it also helped fix two crashing PCs, saving us hours of work.
