Trend Micro Titanium is an antivirus program that protects your PC from malware threats like viruses, spyware,
worms and Trojans. It is equipped with tools to protect it from fake antivirus software and this includes protection
on a Macintosh too.
Trend Micro is rich in features and they include tools to protect you on social network sites, in e-mail contacts,
whilst chatting and your entire network. And their customer team is always on hand to help you customise
and use the software effectively.
Some of the most prominent features in the software include:
anti-malware protection
anti-spyware protection
anti-Trojan protection
outbound e-mail protection
and on demand scanning
Trend Micro Titanium is an average security product and the new 2012 version has been tested and approved by
many of the leading test labs. AV-Test has certified Trend Micro and has scored it relatively well in protection and
usability on Windows 7 and XP.
But it has also been left out of many tests and no scores are shown for Virus Bulletin, ICSA and West Coast Labs
tests. This is disappointing and is one of the reasons the software has been lagging in rankings. At Top 10 Reviews, for example, it has taken 13th position out of 20 and has
been beaten by other average performing programs like G-Data.
There are pros and cons associated with Trend Micro 2012 and we've included the major ones below:
Pros
1. It has an anti-phishing tool that protects you from phishing websites and e-mails sent by criminals looking to
steal your money and personal details.
2. Trend Micro 2012 has a small code footprint because it leverages the cloud.
3. It is very easy to use and configure to your specific needs.
4. It uses traditional signature-based security and real-time protection to protect from new and harmful threats.
5. It has a good customer team always on hand to help you with your software
Cons
1. Trend Micro is missing some important features like a bootable rescue CD, a gaming mode and a laptop/net book
mode.
2. It has performed below many other programs in the repair test on Windows 7.
Summary
Overall, Trend Micro is a half decent program and has many of the tools that you need to protect your PC. Its
foray into cloud security is impressive and has some of the best features and is easy to use. For internet security protection, we recommend you download their full
internet security software package which includes more protection features including a firewall.
