I was born in 1973. My childhood memories revolve around running outside with the neighbourhood children until the street lights came on. I remember that as a kid, seatbelts were optional and your dad wasn't poo-pooed if he let you sit on his lap and steer the car while his foot was on the gas. I also remember when we got our first computer - a VIC20 in 1981. With a chocolate brown keyboard, accented with a pasty coloured housing, this thing plugged into your TV and you could type basic commands and run a primitive version of Pac-Man off a peripheral that resembled a tape recorder. Back in those days, there was no internet, no "world wide web" and thus, computing at home was very safe, and very boring. Fast forward to today, where our computers are portals to different worlds, and adventures afar. From this small screen, with the tap of a few keystrokes and the push of the "enter" button, I could pay my bills, order a pizza, and book an all-inclusive resort vacation. While I love surfing the 'net and playing on-line video games, I also realize that my computer can also be a security risk to me and my family. Viruses and spyware lurk behind seemingly safe installs - why are there so many casino pop ups when I go to shut my computer down???
As a Bzzagent, I was fortunate enough to be invited into their Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security campaign to try out the program. I got a one year subscription, and access to protection of up to 3 devices. This is what you get:
Real-time updates
Parental controls + AntispamLight demands on system resources
Data theft prevention
Easy to use and understand
Protection if your PC is lost or stolen
Strong, fast, and easy-to-use protection
Trend Micro™ Titanium™ Maximum Security uses cloud technology to automatically stop viruses and spyware before they reach your computer, so it won't slow you down. It's a whole new way to protect your PC from Internet threats.
It costs $49.95 to $69.95 (depending on where you buy it) and it is really simple to download and use. I've been using it on my smartphone and my home computer for the last couple of months and it does a great job for home use. The virus scans run in real time, and it doesn't slow my computer down. It's a great program that gives my family peace of mind when we're online!
