Trend Micro Maximum Security Review 2026: Is It The Best Protection?

Trend Micro offers five distinct subscription versions for online security, including a 12-month subscription to its Maximum Security Suite Pro Plus, which provides multi-device antivirus, anti-scam software, a VPN, and identity theft protection. The pricing starts at AUD for a basic subscription for one device, with additional costs for more devices and features. The tested plan costs 99.95 AUD per year for six devices. Key features include AI-scam detection, a Gamer Mode that pauses notifications during gameplay, and a minimalist user interface. Installation requires separate logins for each program, and the suite supports MacOS, Android, and iOS, though with limited features on Mac. The built-in VPN is developed in-house, and phishing protection is provided via a browser extension. Folder Shield protects against ransomware by securing specific folders. Independent lab tests show mixed results for Trend Micro's performance, particularly in real-time web-threat protection and ransomware defense, with some weaknesses in offline malware detection.

Android 17 adds ‘location button’ for apps and more private ‘Approximate’ algorithm

Android 17 has introduced updates to enhance location privacy, including a new "location button" in Beta 3 that allows users to access location services for one-time use without granting permanent or background access. This feature provides a streamlined user experience, enabling users to share their location only when necessary and eliminating repeated prompts for location-dependent features. Developers can customize the button's appearance while the location icon remains mandatory and non-customizable. Additionally, Android 17 Beta 3 includes an improved runtime permission dialog with distinct options for "Precise" and "Approximate" location access. A persistent blue dot in the status bar indicates when a non-system app accesses a user's location, and users can view notifications about which apps have recently accessed their location. The algorithm for approximate locations has also been improved to consider local population density, enhancing privacy in low-population areas.
