Trend micro cleaner one pro review8/16/2023 ![]() When you click to open the feature, you don’t get details, but you can turn blocking on and off, either for the current site or globally. The Ad Blocker suppresses advertisements on the web pages you visit. Be aware that to do so, it sends all your mail to Trend Micro for analysis. It works specifically with Gmail or Outlook webmail when they’re accessed using Chrome or Firefox. It can optionally rate any link on any page when you hover over it with the mouse.Įmail Defender, formerly Fraud Buster, analyzes your webmail to filter out scams and frauds. All links on social media sites, webmail sites, and search results pages get a green, yellow, or red highlight, for safe, iffy, or dangerous. The browser extension’s Web Threat Protection marks up links in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. I’ll discuss Privacy Scanner below-the other five also come with the antivirus. Shared Browser ExtensionĬlick the browser extension’s toolbar button and you get a menu with six items: Web Threat Protection, Email Defender, Ad Block, Privacy Scanner, Pay Guard, and Password Manager. In our current round of testing, though, Trend Micro’s macOS antivirus scores 100%, the same as the Windows edition. Phishing protection, however, can vary between platforms. Phishing is platform-agnostic-you can foolishly give away your login credentials on any platform that has a browser. G Data and ZoneAlarm come close behind with 9.8 points, while McAfee and Webroot SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus take 9.7 points. Tested against current samples, Norton earns 100% detection and 9.9 points. Although the sample set is completely new, it scored the same as when last tested, 7.8 of 10 possible points. Trend Micro took a very poor score in our own hands-on malware protection test. Like Trend Micro, AVG and Bitdefender each have three lab scores, but they both earned a perfect 10. That's the lowest score among recent products. Trend Micro's aggregate lab score, based on results from three labs, is 7.4 points, down from 8.4 at its previous review. And it's the only product to fail both tests by MRG-Effitas in the latest tests. However, in three tests by AV-Comparatives, it passes two, one with an Advanced rating, but fails the third. Like a dozen other products, among them G Data and Vipre Advanced Security, Trend Micro scores the maximum, 18 of 18 possible points, in the latest evaluation from AV-Test Institute. Trend Micro takes mixed scores from the independent testing labs that I follow, three of which include it in their latest testing. I'll summarize my findings here in case you don't have time to read the antivirus review. To understand the core features of this suite, you should start by reading my review of Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security. What Does This Suite Share With the Antivirus? Except for the product name at top left, the main window looks just like Trend Micro's basic antivirus. A lightbulb icon at the top helps you explore all the product’s features, somewhat like Bitdefender’s AutiPilot suggestions. Pointing at one of those icons lights it up clicking brings up a page of relevant features. Tasks during installation include configuring the Folder Shield ransomware protection feature and adding an extension to your default browser.Ī big, round Scan button dominates the center of Trend Micro's unusual main window, while four icons across the top represent four security areas: Device, Privacy, Data, and Family. Getting Started With Trend Micro Internet SecurityĪs with the antivirus, you can supply a serial number during installation or choose a time-limited trial. There's no option to, say, just get additional security licenses. Two additional tiers each raise the price by $100 and give you more of everything, up to unlimited licenses and 500GB of storage. A $149.99 subscription for Norton 360 with LifeLock Select gets you five security licenses, five no-limits VPN licenses, 100GB of storage for backups, and basic levels of monetary remediation from LifeLock. It's worth noting that Norton, like Trend Micro, is also not so flexible as far as volume licensing goes. At $159.99 per year, McAfee Total Protection seems expensive, but that price lets you install protection on every device in your household, including devices running Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. ![]() ESET starts at $59.99 for one license and simply costs $10 more for each additional one, meaning its three-license price is about the same as Trend Micro’s. Bitdefender's $79.99 for three licenses goes up to $84.99 for five and $99.99 for ten-that ten-pack is quite a bargain.
