For instance, the firewall is essential, but Wi-Fi detection isn't much use to someone without a wireless LAN. Setup took just 11 minutes--including a 2-minute preinstall scan--in our tests. The main reason for the speedy setup was that PC-cillin didn't run a postinstallation scan, which we ran manually.
Most antivirus programs also do a full-system scan immediately following installation, and we wish PC-cillin did also. Including the manual scan, setup time totaled 30 minutes, still much shorter than with F-Secure Internet Security or Norton AntiVirus , each of which took more than an hour to install.
McAfee VirusScan 9. The PC-cillin interface is intelligently organized and simple to browse. The main Summary screen provides a quick overview of your computer's protection level: green check-mark icons mean your antivirus, firewall, and other security settings are safe; red exclamation-point icons indicate trouble. A left-side column provides fast access to individual security components, including the e-mail scanner, firewall, and spyware detector.
We do have one gripe, however. The spyware feature was turned off by default, forcing us delve into the settings to activate it. Furthermore, the Summary screen gave no indication that spyware detection was off; we discovered this for ourselves. Spyware scans in PC-cillin operate two ways: either during virus scans or via a separate, spyware-only scan.
PC-cillin wisely takes a cautious approach with spyware, a vague if ominous term used to describe everything from advertiser-supported software to malicious dialers that surreptitiously connect your PC to pay-per-call sites. When PC-cillin detects potential spyware, it gives you the option of deleting the program or going to Trend Micro's support site to learn more about it. The URL filter can block inappropriate Web sites in 20 categories, with user- defined exceptions.
Unfortunately, the filtering is systemwide and cannot be defined for individual users. But instead of blanking out the data, as the other programs in this roundup do, it blocks the transmission itself.
Fair 2. Bottom Line This suite's antivirus protection ranks with the best, and it offers some unique network-related features. However, the antispam and antispyware modules are just so-so, and the firewall is worse. You could create a better security suite by combining the PC-cillin antivirus software with best-of-breed individual firewall, antispam, and antispyware products. Pros Impressive antivirus module. Wi-Fi Detection warns of unknowns on network. Home Network Control allows central administration.
