#anti-abuse tools

To check out Instagram's tools that help control abuse and hate, click here. YouTube on Tuesday has announced new tool and improvements on its comment section tools to resist spams, bots, and abusive language. PC Tools invited us here in Singapore with the rest of the other media from SEA to show us their 2011 Security and Performance Toolkit. The 2011 portfolio includes Spyware Doctor, Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus, PC Tools Internet Security, Registry Mechanic and the new, PC Tools Performance Toolkit. PC Tools Spyware Doctor w/ AntiVirus - Php1,300 PC Tools Internet Security - Php1,820 These two packages are the ones they'll be distributing to local channels in the Philippines but the rest can be downloaded straight from their website (see PCTools.com for trial downloads). What's actually interesting is that PC Tools is also owned by Symantec (acquired in 2008) which distributes Norton AntiVirus and Internet Security, a very similar and almost competing product. Reps explain that Norton and PC Tools cater to different segments of the market and they have separate R&D teams working on the products. You can get trial downloads of entire PC Tools suite here.
