The easy to use Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security web security software package enables you to safely and securely connect to the internet.

As with a variety of other popular internet security packages, Titanium Internet Security 2012 offers all the benefits of an anti-virus solution, along with additional functionality. These added extras ensure that your family can navigate the world wide web in a secure fashion, with the help, for example, of parental control functionality to ensure that children cannot access inappropriate websites or spend the entire day online.

New features

Besides the features usually included with this Internet Security suite, such as a top-notch spam blocker, the updated 2012 package also boasts some new functionality. This includes the Fake antivirus cleaner, that acts as a potent defence against malware posing as antivirus software, while at the same time enhancing overall malware detection and clean-up.

A feature that will come in very handy for those with lots of sensitive data on their PCs, is Secure Erase. This enables you to overwrite deleted files with random data. What many users may not realise is that merely deleting files on your PC simply results in the removal of the directory information used to find the file, while the actual data remains. With Secure Erase you can rest assured that these files have truly been permanently erased. For those doing lots of downloading from the net, the Trend Micro behavioural monitoring module provides proactive protection by checking running processes for unauthorised and potentially malicious changes.

Also interesting is the fact that Titanium Internet Security features 2 GB worth of SafeSync online storage. This, like Dropbox, allows you to securely store all of your work documents and multimedia files online, or share it with users that have web-enabled devices. Another new feature not found in many internet security packages is the new system tuner. This improves PC performance by helping users to free up disk space and enabling Windows to start faster.

Conclusion

Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2012 offers users a comprehensive security solution with a number of extras not found on other internet security packages. A one PC, one year license edition goes for R199 (incl VAT), which also gives you access to free 24/7 local email and telephonic support.
