Frequently Asked Questions
Antivirus and internet security are two levels of protection for your computer. Antivirus focuses on scanning and removing viruses and malware from your files and programs. It's like a digital detective that identifies and eliminates harmful software.
On the other hand, internet security offers a broader shield. It not only includes antivirus features but also safeguards you while you're online, protecting against threats like phishing attacks and malicious websites.
So, while antivirus keeps your computer safe from local threats, internet security ensures a safer overall online experience by defending against various dangers you might encounter while browsing the internet or using online services.
Choosing the right antivirus software depends on your lifestyle and devices. If you use several devices across different platforms and live an active online lifestyle, you'll want antivirus software that provides complete protection while adapting to your changing needs. Consider features such as real-time scanning, web security, and device compatibility. Ultimately, the ideal antivirus for you aligns with your specific lifestyle and device requirements, providing effective security without causing disruptions.
Antivirus software protects your machine from harmful digital threats. It checks all of your applications and files for "bad" code that could damage your device. The program finds malicious software like viruses and malware and removes it using a database of known threats. Additionally, it has the ability to detect and prevent malicious software activity by keeping an eye out for any unusual activity. If you update your antivirus software often, it will be aware of new risks and be better able to protect your computer from them while you use it for things like web browsing and opening files.
Yes, antivirus software protects mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Although these devices appear to be less vulnerable than computers, they are nonetheless susceptible to malware, phishing attempts, and other online risks. Antivirus software for mobile devices protects your personal information, such as passwords and sensitive data, against dangerous apps and websites. Regularly upgrading your mobile device's antivirus program provides a proactive defense against evolving threats, resulting in a safer and more secure user experience.
Trend Micro antivirus safeguards your devices through advanced threat detection, real-time protection, and analysis to identify emerging threats. Leveraging cloud-based security and web reputation services, it blocks malicious websites and scans email content, offering comprehensive defense against malware and phishing attempts.

Good quality productI have been a Trend Micro customer since 2013. In that time, I have never been attacked by any malicious software [nor] infected with harm-causing software. I have been warned a number of times that particular websites were potentially dangerous and should be avoided. I have never had any cause to question what the Trend Micro software was doing, as it went about its business of protecting me. The four other systems that are protected by my licensed version of the software have never had their computers compromised.
