Review by Ms. T
Whenever anyone asks me which virus protection they should use - this is the one I recommend - for several reasons. It is fast and light and has no noticeable impact on pc performance. It is reliable, I put it on my kids computers (and anyone with kids know they are at a higher than average risk for picking up viruses/malware) and they have never had a virus/malware infection on either of their computers. What I also like is that if you try to go to a site that is dangerous or hosting malicious software it blocks it and puts up a warning sign saying that the site is dangerous - this is a great learning tool for the kids to learn what kind of websites they should and should not visit and helps them learn what they should avoid in the future. Another must have is the link scanner, so that when you search up a topic, it’ll tell you if the search results link to dangerous sites - invaluable in this day and age when so much malware come from poisoned search results. Also a must have, is a facebook privacy scanner that tells you how to lock down your facebook privacy as much as possible, and also a facebook link scanner that will tell you if that video your friend posted of the gross spider bite is actually a virus. This too, is a great learning tool for the kids, so they can see what kind of facebook posts are likely hiding viruses. If a facebook link is safe, it puts a green check mark next to it, and if it’s dangerous it puts a red x next to it. If you get it on sale, then you really can’t go wrong and it is worth every penny. I always believe that infection prevention is they key (as opposed to having to clean it up afterwards), and Trend Micro titanium is top notch at preventing infections.
