Recently, as a BzzAgent I was asked to test Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security. This was provided to me at no cost in return for my evaluation.

Like most of you, I believed that all security software was essentially the same. I could not have been more wrong! Not only is this software different, it is awesome.

The first thing that my teenage gamers noticed was that Trend does not slow down the computer. In the past, they have had to disable some security programs because it causes game lag. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to have to disable security software while playing an online game.

The next great thing about this software is that it lets you know before you click on a link, if that link is safe or not. Tested links are green, untested are grey and bad links (i.e. virus-laden links) are in red. Trend Micro Titanium will not let you open a red link. No more accidental opening of a bad page.

I like that you can store files in the “cloud” as well. No more losing files due to a computer crash.

I haven’t used the mobile phone protection as of yet so I can’t comment on that feature. I hope to use it soon, though as I will be upgrading my phone within a few weeks. I just haven’t found the perfect phone for me yet. ; )

I could go on and on about the great features of this product but I will let the info from the company speak for itself:
