Trend Micro's PC-cillin protects against a variety of internet menaces. Hailed by C-NET as the 'best Internet Security package on the market,' it certainly deserves attention. It is bundled free with a year's supply of updates to combat new threats, and is compatible with Windows Vista.

PC-cillin received the VB 100% award, has been approved by ICSA and passed the rigurous West Coast Labs effectiveness checks.

Installation is simple, and the program runs silently without noticeably consuming system resources. So far so good... In terms of the variety of threat coverage offered by pc-cillin, the results are promising. The automatic virus scans are able to detect and deal with just about anything, even when the virus is encrypted so as to distort its hex signature. Prevention of unauthorised registry changes is well implemented, but can be configured so as not to be intrusive. The automatic updates are frequent and prompt.

The support team are helpful and friendly, as well as being able to offer expert advice on advance issues.

Overall review - 10/10. This is a must buy!
