Protection is very important if you like to mess around. 
I’m talking about a different kind of protection though. I went to the Trend Micro TITANIUM Internet Security 2011 launch a while ago and got the lowdown on how it works. I’m no stranger to technology, I graduated in Computer Science (don’t ask me why I’m in my current line now – long story) and the product had some very interesting features.
Before I go into the details, lemme just go through the awesome start of the event! The lights were dimmed and this dance troupe came on stage to perform a routine involving a lot of fabric waving.
The official launch kicked off after that and Trend Micro came on stage to explain how their TITANIUM suite works.
It’s actually very interesting for two major reasons:
1. It doesn’t require the virus/malware/Trojan horse signature files to be downloaded – it’s stopped at their server level using cloud computing – a good thing considering there’s 1.5 threats per second
2. It takes up very little processing power – gone are the days when you have to disable your anti-virus before playing games
Also, it has a very nifty feature for all you Edison Chen wannabes – it securely deletes files according to US government standards. Useful, eh? 😉
Lunch was served after that and it was a good spread which includes everything from starters…
…to soup
…and the quintessential fish!
I was stuffed by the time the prawns came.
There was no shortage of entertainment either – besides the lucky draw, there was a game where random items ranging from 4D stubs to a strand of hair was required and I am proud to report that our table won! We all got a Trend Micro umbrella which was rather useful the day after when I went to a client’s place and it was raining cats and dogs.
The dance troupe also went on stage periodically to do choreographed numbers.
The funniest game of the launch has gotta be this Girls vs Guys contest where they attempted to stack up the boxes of Trend Micro TITANIUM to the maximum possible height. The guys looks like they were winning but in the end the girls copied their technique with more finesse – they turned the box vertically instead of horizontally to achieve a greater height.
There was a lucky draw at the end where you get to win a smartphone too but alas, I was not one of the lucky ones.
However, it was an awesome event and Trend Micro was kind enough to furnish us with mooncakes, a jacket and a 3 license copy of Trend Micro TITANIUM Maximum Security when we went back.
I’ve tried out the product on my personal notebook and while I don’t need the parental controls (heck, at my age I’m supposed to be a parent) but the data theft prevention and web threat preventions works very well. I can even play Starcraft II (my current personal benchmark) while it’s scanning in the background.
It’s amazing how security software has grown by leaps and bounds since the last time I’ve bothered to install one. I think the best feature of Trend Micro TITANIUM Maximum Security for me is their validation of WiFi hotspots since I use my computer at all sorts of places.
You can’t go wrong if you shield your (USB) dong(gle).
haiyah i thought this was a FINE blog post 🙁
My company use McAfee so I can’t try anything else on my company issued laptop. Maybe when I get my own PC or laptop then I’ll try it out.
quaintly: HAHAHA! Everytime I do a FINE blog post I get a lot of crap. Okay, gonna do one real soon Su Ann! 🙂
Simon Seow: Yeah it is pretty good – Trend Micro’s load is very low, I can play Starcraft II as usual while it’s on. 🙂

“I graduated in Computer Science (don’t ask me why I’m in my current line now – long story)”
WHY?!? I think we like long story. Tell, oh.. tell.(Hahaha!!)
“(heck, at my age I’m supposed to be a parent)”.
You will be a good parent because you are daring to experience alot of things at your age. Live to tell to your children. Erm.. you are too young to be a parent now,la. 😀

HB, my was in Hawaii not too long ago. He went to the store to buy some condoms and in Hawaii all stores have talking registers. Any things you have to scan the machines would say it out loud and boy was he shock the whole store heard it. Some customers “Someone is going to have a hot time tonight”. His face so red.

dude, the heading and the first picture are so wrong together. My first impression was, fuck, that’s a very big box of condom. I really don’t want to ever come across this person

Yvonne: Heh! I decided to switch from programming to become a system engineer for a security firm and after that went into corporate communications and became a copywriter and account servicing and decided that I liked it so I stuck with it. 🙂
Mike J: Hello Mike! I’m in an agency right now. 🙂
Michael (MIke): Heh! Interesting anecdote. 🙂
rocket: HAHAHAHAHA! It’s an antivirus/malware software. Pretty good too, low footprint on the computer.

Hi simply wanted to tell you that awesome web page.
I like your blog.
Anyone who works a standard work is in a pyramid scheme. Each company, army, and government internationally is built on the pyramid concept. However, with multilevel marketing, you are not held back by the people above you want you are typically in a standard job.
Beautiful site, really good wanting logo, awful leads.
Why is it that various individuals had exceptional MLM teaching and yet still fails?
i’m almost always wandering all around the internet almost all of the night which means I possess a tendency to peruse a whole lot, which is not always a beneficial option as almost all of the sites I look at are made up of unnecessary nonsense copied from various other websites a thousand times, nonetheless I gotta give you props this blog is really enjoyable and even seems to have some authentic material, therefore kudos for splitting the trends of just duplicating other peoples’ blogs 🙂
