4.0 out of 5 stars PC-cillin Home Security Pack, December 27, 2004

There are several reasons to like Trend Micro products. Key among them is the close relationship that Trend Micro enjoys with Microsoft. Norton and McAfee both tend to be slow in adopting use of the latest interfaces (API's) and this puts them behind the 8 ball. TM's products have been hard to get in the past, but the use of the latest technology is very much in their favor. They were the first to be able to integrate with Microsoft Sharepoint and their corporate presence is pretty strong. They are very aggressive in getting fixes out. I've used their products for 5 years+ and have consistently been pleased with both the service and protection they afford.

Contrary to what has been written in the previous 2 reviews this
product is the best of its' kind. I have been using it, and ONLY
it, for the past 6 months, in a new installation of XP/SP2, and it
co-exists flawlessly. Previous to this I have used both McAfee and
Norton products, and while they are also good there is no question
in my mind that this is the superior product. I no longer use any
other spyware removal tools [Spybot, Adware, etc], as PC-cillin
has been very effective in catching these nasty devils in realtime.
I must also point out that it is 'perfectly' integrated into
SP2's Security Center.

It is the best in class.

PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 Home Security Pack Is one of the best virus programs out there and it is worth it. scaning filesi is easy as one, two, three! Although it is slightly better than norton anti virus, I still recommend you to buy and use this somftware in order to protect yourself from hackers and spam.

Some technical features of this item from the website is:

Comprehensive Virus Security

Award-winning Trend Micro antivirus technology detects and removes all types of viruses, worms, Trojans, and blended threats. Advanced heuristics technology can block unknown viruses before a new pattern file is available, and the Outbreak Alert System proactively warns you of the new threats before a virus can attack.

Enhanced Spyware Detection and Removal

New anti-spyware technology detects and removes spyware, adware, and other unwanted programs, including cookies and registry keys designed to steal personal data and monitor online activity. The filtering engine uses an extensive spyware database, which is continually updated so you are protected from the latest threats. It performs real-time scans to block spyware before it can be installed and runs manual scans to remove programs that are already on your system.

Anti-Phishing -

New anti-phishing technology protects you from "phishing" attacks designed to steal personal data, such as credit card, bank account, and social security numbers, user names and passwords. Using an innovative approach, the software stops the transmission of outbound data to known phishing-related Web sites.

Home Network Control -

This unique feature enables you to easily configure, update, and control PC-cillin Internet Security running on any PC on your home network-managing all functionality through a single interface. You can run remote security scans to ensure all of your PCs are safe and updated with the latest protection. You can also password-protect PC-cillin Internet Security to prevent others from disabling or modifying security settings.

Wi-Fi Intrusion Detection -

Trend Micro's new Wi-Fi Intrusion Detection is the industry's first alert system for consumers that warns you when a wardriver or another unknown user enters your wireless network. By adjusting profile-based security settings, you can optimize performance and security for your current network environment, whether connecting via Wi-Fi or Internet café.

Improved Spam Filtering

Trend Micro's anti-spam technology identifies and blocks spam with a higher level of accuracy, saving you valuable time and effort. You can easily adjust filtering sensitivity, and if you use Microsoft™ Outlook, you can install the new integrated anti-spam toolbar that enables you to optimize results based on personal needs.

Personal Firewall

The firewall prevents hackers and network viruses, like MYDOOM, NIMDA, and SASSER, from invading your home network. If a threat is detected, it can automatically shut off network access to stop the virus from spreading. When a new threat emerges, Trend Micro's Network Virus Emergency Center sends an early alert so your network is protected immediately.

Vulnerability Assessment -

This new security feature automatically performs regular scans of your computer and alerts you to operating system and browser vulnerabilities. It then provides one-click access to Windows Update so you can download the patch file.
