With four different Windows-based antivirus suites, from the inexpensive AntiVirus+ Security to the flagship Premium Security, Trend Micro seemingly offers something for everyone. Each program provides good foundational defenses with the same underlying malware-detection and eradication technology, a hardened web browser and a game-friendly Mute mode, while Maximum Security includes extra security-minded features that range from file encryption to a password manager to identity protection. The flagship Premium Security adds virtual private network (VPN) access.
