Protect your PCs, Macs, Android phones, iOS devices and Chromebooks with comprehensive protection that covers every way you connect. Prevent ransomware attacks, viruses and identity theft with comprehensive defense against ransomware viruses malware identity theft.

Titanium Maximum Security’s outstanding malware protection is its star feature, while other notable capabilities are Pay Guard (opens secure browser window for banking and shopping online) and Data Theft Prevention, which protects sensitive information from leaving your computer.

Security

Trend Micro’s malware protection offers unparalleled effectiveness at detecting, eliminating and blocking various forms of malicious software. Furthermore, its privacy tools protect your social media and online activities against hackers and unauthorized users.

All its core features can be easily accessed via an intuitive user interface, making setup and use straightforward. I particularly liked its parental controls feature – activated with one simple report screen displaying how your kids are spending their online time (though it does not track apps).

Trend Micro offers many great functions, such as Pay Guard for online banking and shopping; Vault to store sensitive data in password-protected folders; and Device Locator, which locates stolen devices on a map. When combined, these features make Trend Micro an ideal solution for protecting both home and business computers; unfortunately their plans don’t come cheap and don’t match Norton 360 in terms of device coverage and feature selection.

Privacy

Trend Micro’s malware scanner and privacy features provide unmatched protection on social media and the web, while their convenient and affordable device protection plans offer affordable cyberthreat protection across multiple devices. However, its extra protections don’t match those offered by competitors; additionally, their more costly plans require multiple licenses and device types coverage at once.

Trend’s main UI is intuitive and straightforward to navigate, making it effortless to access and configure its features quickly. Clicking “Data” takes you directly to data protection tools such as Folder Shield, Secure Erase and Vault (password protected folder), while “Family” opens Parental Controls tool – perfect for families with kids!

PC Tune-Up, while being an excellent optimizer, lacks an important feature found in most other security tools: an automated password manager which logs you in automatically when visiting websites and fills in personal details automatically.

Performance

Trend Micro provides an impressive suite of privacy protection tools. Their security features can protect against ransomware, hackers and unauthorized users on public networks; while WiFi protection offers added peace of mind. Their new Pay Guard feature also opens a secure, sandboxed browser for online shopping and banking transactions.

All plans feature powerful Parental Controls to restrict time blocks on children’s computers and block objectionable content, in addition to system optimizer and password manager features that store unlimited login credentials free of charge, plus ID Security apps that scan dark web for signs of compromised personal information.

The user interface of this antivirus program is user-friendly, though some of its privacy tools have begun to feel out-of-date. For instance, Internet Explorer opens when clicking a shortcut for social media scanner and PC Optimizer has too many options than I prefer.

Value

Trend Micro Maximum Security sets itself apart from its counterpart by offering multi-platform support – meaning it works on Windows, Mac OSX, Android and iOS devices – as well as offering password manager and data protection features like Pay Guard that opens a secure browser when visiting online banking or shopping websites to prevent keyloggers.

Independent lab tests demonstrated that this antivirus performed exceptionally against zero-day malware and ransomware, but did not perform as strongly against known threats. However, it earned top marks for protecting PC exploitation through malicious files while having minimal effect on system performance during scans.

Trend Micro Ultimate Security, their top-of-the-line offering, combines all of the benefits found in Maximum Security with virtual private network (VPN) and dark web monitoring, parental controls that set time blocks for apps, games and presentations, as well as filtering out objectionable material, parental monitoring tools that set limits and filter objectionable material and 24/7 tech support for added peace of mind.
