Review by Admiralu
This is a product that I have had the pleasure of using before the Vine Program. The Internet Security Pro was introduced last year in 2008 and I used it then. The difference between the regular and Pro versions of the Trend Micro Security Suite are the additions of some very handy computer management features. These include a System Tuner module that includes a Registry cleanup scanner, Startup Manager, Privacy Manager, a Remote File Lock service that protects important documents remotes by password protected backup, A Trend Micro Toolbar that includes a WiFi detector, keyboard encryption protector to thwart keylogging attempts has also been added. New for 2009 TM also includes a phishing page rating button, A Dashboard to track security threats encountered by the software and a Security Suite protector for your mobile smartphone! The software works smoothly, installation of the 09 version was faster than last year and it self configures. While you can review several options, the important ones are already configured. Use of the extended Pro Features is optional. Trend Micro makes a very solid product that does not bug you with too many pop ups and runs smoothly. The few times last year I needed to contact Customer Service, they were quick and problems were taken care of ASAP. I was pleased to see this in the Vine program. Some things I love about TM Pro include the Startup Manager to stop excess unneeded programs from launching on startup, the scans are deeper and show both time elapsed and percentage of the computer left to be scanned. I had tried Norton 2008 and it did not find as many items and when it did, you still had to manually remove them yourself. TM finds and removes items automatically. Norton also excessively updated itself in same sessions. TM keeps you safe and protected without nagging you. I had purchased their Smartphone security before the new 2009 version came out and am pleased with that as well. It is a nice addition to the Suite. I highly recommend Trend Micro Pro they have made an already good product even better, backed by support that actually listens to your concerns.
