For just $29.95AUD, Manaccom, one of Australia’s largest distributors of PC software have released Trend Micro PC-cillin AntiVirus 2009 to the Australian market. Targeting the novice computer user, this is the perfect software accessory to protect your computer from a variety of viruses that can corrupt your system.
 

Benefits of Trend Micro PC-cillin Antivirus 2009:

  • Trend Micro AntiVirus is easy to install, configure and manage, saving you precious time and effort.
  • Feel completely secure with technical support included via email, online forum or toll-free telephone.
  • The unobtrusive monitoring system, prescheduled security scans and automatic downloads of the latest updates will take care of your computer’s security so you just have to focus what you need done on your computer.
  • Automatic updates, for 12months, will alert you of potential threats and remove them safely.
  • Trend Micro AntiVirus 2009 searches for risks every time a file is opened, copied, moved or saved and prevents suspect file downloads, maintaining peace-of-mind that your computer’s security is in very capable hands.

It is also ideal for users using Windows Vista as the operating system boasts a firewall but no AntiVirus program so in conjunction with Trend Micro PC-cillin AntiVirus 2009 and the innate Firewall of Windows Vista, the user can then surf the net, download programs and access e-mails without the threat of being infected.

The installation of this software package was a breeze and it simply auto-installed once the CD was detected by our computer. After a brief installation which included registration of the product, the program automatically downloaded all the latest updates for the program, ensuring that our system was well protected.

The interface of the program is quite easy to use and extremely self explanatory, ensuring that this software can be used by a variety of different people. Trend Micro PC-cillin Antivirus 2009 requires minimal to almost no input from the user as it silently protects your computer, automatically downloads updates and ensures your system’s integrity.

Should the user suffer any issues with the everyday running of this program, the user also has access to online technical support via e-mail, forums and a toll-free telephone number. Fortunately we did not need to test this aspect as the program had no issues while it scanned our computer, installed updates and during the testing phase.

At the end of the day, Trend Micro PC-cillin Antivirus 2009 is an extremely thorough anti virus program that in conjunction with a decent firewall program will ensure that your system is not violated by viruses and the like. For only $29.95, it’s definitely must have protection that includes free support and 12-months of updates.
