Trend Micro Internet Security Pro, formally known as PC-cillin, is a vast offering of useful security and PC upkeep utilities for the home computer user that will keep your system clean and running well.
A system tuner that offers the ability to back up your system state, clean your registry, delete tracking cookies and remove browsing history is part of the Pro Services portion of Trend Micro’s program. They offer several other features as well.
Internet Security Pro also offers a high-end firewall and virus scanner along with online safety utilities such as a data vault and wireless network security utility.
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro Standout Features:
Firewall:
The firewall included with Trend Micro Internet Security Pro is easy to use and very effective. It has several profiles that are available to adjust your security level including Home Network, Office Network, Direct Connection and Wireless Connection. These all change the firewall rules to different levels and settings depending on the danger associated with each type of connection.
Antivirus:
Trend Micro’s antivirus scanner is a top-notch scanner that detected 100% of the viruses that we had planted on the test system during install. Its real-time scanner caught all the viruses we tried to create or introduce on the test machine as well. Our test machine was not slowed down by the realtime scanner in a noticeable way, though it did miss a few uncompiled virus files. Considering these files posed no threat to the system, this wasn’t a big issue.
One thing we really like about the virus scanner is that it updates every 3 hours by default. You can also change the update setting to update every hour if you wish. The updates don’t require any user intervention and have yet to require a reboot.
Antispyware:
The antispyware features in Trend Micro Internet Security Pro are sufficient to keep you safe while surfing the net. By default, the software will search all incoming and outgoing email for spyware threats as well as watch for threats from your home or office network.
Other Security/Features:
The other features included with Trend Micro Internet Security Pro are what make this suite really shine. Features like parental controls, password protection for your settings, a system tuner tool and a transaction protector that integrates with Internet Explorer make this suite’s extra features second to none.
The system tuner tool is comprehensive in that it scans for recoverable disk space, checks the registry for unused and unnecessary entries and removes cookies and browser history.
There is a Remote File Lock utility that is included as well. What this does is create a vault that is password protected. If your computer is stolen, you can log into the Trend Micro website and report it stolen. If the computer logs onto the internet again, the your files will be locked down so that the bad guys can’t get to them. This also applies if they have your file vault password. The only problem that we can see with Remote File Lock, is that it requires that the computer connect to the internet before the files lock down.
Summary:
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro is an above average program that offers everything you will need to stay safe while surfing the web. The firewall is intuitive and easy to configure while the antivirus engine is thorough and effective. In the overall scheme of things, Trend Micro Internet Security Pro is a good product that worth you have a try.
