Two-Way Firewall
“Firewall” is becoming a very common word when it comes to Internet security, and most people tend to think of it as a way to keep intruders out of your computers and networks. However, as you will see below, Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security's two-way firewall takes security to another level.
Basically, what a firewall does is set up controls at every point of entry to your computers and your networks in order to inspect all types of traffic that tries to pass through. If you have told the firewall to permit a certain type of traffic to enter, the firewall will let it through; if not, it will either block it or ask you to make a decision. This way you will be kept safe from hacker attacks and other types of Internet threats trying to gain access to and control over your personal information.
Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2011 goes one step further than this common way of looking at personal firewalls. Its two-way firewall system is designed to keep intruders out but also to protect your sensitive information from leaving your computer.
In addition to monitoring all attempts to access your computers, it will also make sure any information leaving your computer is actually meant to do so. This way you will not only be protected from hackers trying to access your computer but also stop different types of malware, e.g. stealthy programs, from retrieving and sending your personal information without your permission and knowledge.
Parental Controls
Trend Micro's advanced parental controls are designed to keep your children safe while on the Internet. These days, computers and the Internet are being used by people of all ages; children, however, are often not mature enough to handle some of the information they may come across while using the Internet unsupervised.
Trend Micro Internet Security can help you take charge of where your kids go on the Internet by blocking websites with content that is not appropriate for them, whether it may be adult, violent, or other types of inappropriate material.
AntiSpam
Trend Micro "PC-cillin" Internet Security also has built-in anti-spam filters to get rid of both the emails that are just annoying and the ones that are of the dangerous fraudulent or phishing kind. New in Trend Micro 2011 is the ability to get rid of image spam, which is a type of spam that delivers images instead of just text in order to get around today’s spam filters.
Protection Against Worms, Trojans & More
Additionally, Trend Micro Internet Security provides protection against other types of malware, for example worms, Trojan horses and more. With PC-cillin on your computer you can feel safe from all types of malware.
A worm is a self-replicating computer program that uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes. Unlike a virus, a worm doesn't need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms harm the entire network; not only specific files on a targeted computer. More information
A Trojan Horse is a program that installs malicious software while appearing completely innocent. A Trojan Horse often comes in the shape of interesting or useful programs, such as a weather alert or file sharing utilities. More information
In conclusion, with Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2011 you can rest easy knowing you will get world-class protection from one of the world's largest and most respected Internet security brands. Trend Micro PC-cillin is also a very well-known brand on the market, and the chosen Internet security provider of large online services such as Microsoft MSN Hotmail.
