Stay on top of your game with Titanium
Marlow, UK – 12th May 2010 -- The virtual blood is pouring down your digital head, your vision blurred and ammunition low, the target is in sight, it is him or you. Taking your position, crouching low on the ground, explosives flying past, missing you by a millimetre, you are thinking ‘I have fought long and hard for this; it is now or never, victory is in sight.’
Your hand hovers over the trigger, now all is left is to come out of your hiding place, as you face him he sees you but you are ready. Pressing down on the trigger you find it does not respond at the speed you were relying on, the computer freezes, only for a second, but enough to compromise your attack. Too late, your bullet leaves the firearm but you have been hit, the end, you lose. At least your computer is free of viruses’ right?
Nothing is more irritating than a slow computer when it comes down to beating your opponent; it could come down to life or death in the virtual world. However, the consequences of many gamers turning off their online security protection so their game is not compromised could mean life or death for the computer.
Trend Micro’s new Titanium Security ensures gamers can now enjoy maximum protection from cybercrime without compromising computer speed – a bulletproof defence so the gamer can launch his attack at maximum speed.
Just like a good game, Titanium security offers quick installation and runs smoothly on your computer. While players can focus on their virtual opponents, Titanium offers an intelligent defence against threats from viruses and worms using its sophisticated scanning technology.
It also provides comprehensive protection from web threats such as malicious links posted on gaming sites, frequently visited by gamers to post scores online and exchange information.

The secret of competition and speed in the gaming world also has its parallels with Titanium. Each gamer automatically becomes part of one of the biggest security network of the digital world, - Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network which stops the threats at the source of origin on the net itself.
Whenever a new threat is discovered, Trend Micro’s Smart Protection Network updates its intelligence in real-time.

With all matters of security, speed is of paramount importance and can often make the difference between victory and defeat. Titanium Security is lightweight and has no impact on the performance or speed of a PC, allowing games to take full advantage of any speed advantages over their opponents.
“The impact of Titanium on the actual game is next to zero. Even in a full-screen application, the performance of the game is not impacted,” said Rik Ferguson, senior security advisor at Trend Micro.
“Speed is crucial amongst gamers and can often make the difference between victory and defeat, which is why gamers often switch off any kind of security protection on their PCs. Trend Micro’s Titanium offers maximum protection without impacting gaming performance through local scans or pattern file updates.”
The Electronic Sports League (ESL) has recently agreed to advocate Trend Micro’s Titanium.
“Gamers want maximum performance from their PCs, which is why any security solution should be as lightweight as possible,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of Turtle Entertainment GmbH.
“Most security solutions are a distraction to gamers and consume too much processor power. Titanium, however, relies on cloud-based protection which means computers are protected comprehensively without being slowed down or game performances being impacted.”
