Alternatively you have the option to customize it. Each of these is further sub-divided to include relevant topics to be blocked. However, some of the topics included are vague and selecting them may result in blocking of a site that is actually not harmful. In that case you will have to include the site URL in the trusted website list from settings. You can also set the PC and Internet usage time. The security reports provide a detailed view of the threats detected with help of graphs.
The program sports a very simple design, which makes it easy to navigate. The home screen will provide you with a status of your system security, with information of threats detected, sites blocked, etc.
From here you set settings for each of them. In terms of detecting threats and protection, it scored 93 percent in the Dennis Technology Labs score. However, this score is that of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security, but since the two security suites use the same engine, these scores are applicable for Internet Security suite as well.
It provides effective protection from computer viruses, worms, Trojan, malwares, rootkits, spyware and other malicious softwares.
It also provides you with security reports for threats detected, parental control and system tuner, which will present you with a detailed view about the kind of threats faced.

Clicking on ads from questionable Web sites, for example, we were often informed that the site that was about to load could either infect our computer or possibly try to scam us. When a threatening URL is detected, it invokes a page saying that the site was blocked by Trend Micro, but the site can still be visited if the program's password is supplied don't give this password to your kids.
This protection is automatic, and it can be supplemented by enabling the Parental Controls. The Parental Controls allow Web sites to be blocked depending on their category. Different categories are blocked according to the age group you specify in the filter. You can also elect to block more or less than the default offerings. A schedule can be set up so that the Internet can be used only within the hours that you specify, and a time limit can be implemented so that your kids don't spend the majority of their home time in front of the PC chatting to friends or caught up in an endless YouTube session.
Keyword filtering is not available though and the predefined filters are little too broad, which means they should not be relied upon. If you're concerned about what your child sees on the Web, then you're better off supervising them.
As an example, we were able to view sites pertaining to mischief and the excessive showing of flesh, even with the filter enabled to prevent such things. Conversely, false positive results, or sites that don't pose any risk but are picked up anyway such as some to do with hacking , can be added to a list of allowed sites.
Data theft prevention can be used to store data such as email addresses, phone numbers, addresses and credit card numbers or parts of credit card numbers so that they can't be accidentally or sinisterly transmitted over the Web. If you enter this data in the suite so that it's protected, a warning will come up when you enter this data in Web forms and attempt to transmit it.
The warning will come in the form of a pop-up in near your System Tray area, which gives you the option of allowing the data to be sent.
The trouble with this feature is that it does not tell you which site has made the request for this data. For example, we typed a fake credit card number into Google and the pop-up came up immediately, telling us that our credit card information was about to leave our computer.
However, it didn't say that it was leaving to go to Google's servers. There is a log for this feature that can be checked, but it only shows the date and time of a data request, not where that data was supposed to be going. The Data Theft feature can detect when the sensitive information you've secured is about to be sent over the Internet.
This lack of information follows the pattern of the rest of the suite: it's not a suite that will give you mounds of information about what it's doing and how it has protected you. The logs have to be looked at to see what types of threats you've been saved from. In our tests, it took 40min to scan a well-worn computer with GB of data on it.
The end result was three found threats, which the suite claimed were spyware found in compressed files, but it did not specify exactly which files these were. It also removed over 30 tracking cookies.
Basically, and at the risk of making the interface a little more complex, some information regarding what the software is doing would be a good idea and add to the peace of mind that the suite aims to bring to typical end users. As part of the security suite, you also get a 10GB Trend Micro SafeSync account and one-year subscription which will require renewing if you want to continue using it.
We've looked at SafeSync before and found it to be a decent online storage locker. In short, anything you save to the local SafeSync folder that's created will be synchronised uploaded automatically to the Web-based folder.
If you install SafeSync on any other computers, then that synching process will work the other way and files from the cloud will be downloaded or synched to that computer. It's a good way to store any files that you want to be able to access from anywhere including from iOS and Android devices via Trend Micro's apps and even share it with others if you so choose.
Overall, Titanium Maximum Security offers one thing that's paramount for many users and that's a simple, easy to use interface. It's also not an intrusive program and it doesn't slow down a computer system noticeably at least, it didn't in our tests. This ease of use comes at the expense of some nitty gritty details that we wish Trend Micro would provide, which would add to the peace of mind that the suite offers.
