basically a 24/7 security guard for your PC that also gets "trained" or

Yes this program will prevent viruses,
Trojan horses and other program based nasties from effecting your
computer but it goes one step beyond standard anti-virus programs.
Internet Security 2008 also protects your information from being stolen
and for parents, prevents children or adults from accessing
inappropriate websites. Definitely great for surfing the web and
preventing those "fake" websites from stealing your information.
Fed up with SPAM? Trend Micro PC-cillin
Internet Security 2008 also features a SPAM filter which prevents "junk"
e-mail from clogging up your inbox which is a great item to have in this
day and age where unscrupulous companies try to sell everything from
Viagra to South African money scams.
Testing
We sent ourselves a number of "viruses"
through e-mail which was quickly stopped by Internet Security 2008 as
were files that we tried to run which were also effected. The parental
control system works great too and stopped us from visiting a variety of
websites thanks to a Google search.
In conclusion, Trend Micro PC-cillin
Internet Security 2008 is the perfect program for home users who are
looking for affordable protection with maximum protection. Easy to
install, a simple yet understandable interface and best of all, quietly
works in the background protecting your PC. Great stuff! |
