Pros: Lots of tools to protect privacy.
Fast installation.
Very good webfilter.
Cons: Slow boot time
Virus and malware removal is done by Trend Micro's Housecall, an online system, rather than locally.
Conclusion: Trend Micro leaped forward and took a risk in 2011. It didn't for the 2012 suites, but it didn't have to. Instead, 2012 sees a solid upgrade, with some clever new offerings. What holds back Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security are its benchmarks. The lacklustre threat removal scores don't stand up against the more well-rounded competition, and the abysmal boot-time impact must be improved. If Titanium can polish those areas, then that would be showing some mettle we could really get behind.
Rating: 4 Stars (Very Good)
Overview:
Following on last year's big overhaul, Trend Micro makes a series of smaller changes to this year's Titanium security suites. While we loved the baked-in mobile support, free storage and file encryption, inconsistent benchmarks hold the suites back.
Full review.
