Trend Micro Internet Security puts its effort into web threats rather than network controls. The page highlights Pay Guard for checking that banking sites are legitimate, AI-powered scam protection for shopping and banking, flagging of phishing emails and scam websites, and Folder Shield, which protects local folders and cloud-synced ones in Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive against ransomware. Parental controls set time and content limits. It covers up to 3 devices across Windows, Mac and Chromebook, which is unusual and useful for families with a school Chromebook. It costs $59.95 for the first year, against a regular $83.95. The weak spot for this list is the firewall: the product page does not list a firewall of its own, so you rely on the one built into your operating system. If a configurable firewall is the main reason you are shopping, look at ESET, G Data or Norton instead.
