FAQ:

Q: Why do you use Trend Micro all the time?
A: I believe that the protection for me is enough. I rarely go to any bad sites and ones that are bad I end up doing it on a VM.

Q: What phone do you have?
A: Currnetly it's the iPhone 11 Pro

Q: What do you do on your computer?
A: I work from home, so most of the time it's work. I do tend to play games and listen to music in my down time.

Fixed and updated.

I've been using it for years. Have had absolutely no issues with the software.

Why fix something that's not broken? haha
Never had any issues with the software, so why need to change.
I have tested many AV's back in the day, but have always come back to Trend.

Not many OG's users around anymore but the staff team. All these new faces I haven't seen before haha

I see you still use Trend. Still good for your needs or you looked at alternatives?

Good to see you back McLovin. It's been a very long time. It's good to see that you're still happily using Trend Micro.

It good for my needs yeah. I have in the past years done alot of testing for other AV's but have always come back to Trend. Simple yet effective. Plus why fix something that's not broken?

Good to see you back McLovin. It's been a very long time. It's good to see that you're still happily using Trend Micro.

Thank you! Been a hot minute.

Audio-Technica ATH-DSR9BT - Headset

Can you recommend any less pricey, yet high quality headsets?

BOSE with acoustic noise cancellation are my recommendation. you can get the last 2 years models which are cheap in comparison to newer models, while maintaining high quality sound and noise cancellation. Good all arounder

What's your opinion about "Teufel" ?

What is the third party custom firewall you mention?

That was a mistake on my end. I use the Microsoft Defender Firewall.

Can you recommend any less pricey, yet high quality headsets?

Audio Technica ATH-M50x are a really good choice.

What's your opinion about "Teufel" ?

I have not used them sorry. So can't give much opinion on them.

100%. It scans sites that could potentially have savings. Anytime I'm looking to buy online I always check for a discount.

@Soulbound is right. Got the name from my favourite movie of all time. Super Bad.
