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.
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. |
