In a world where free anti-virus software is commonplace for pretty much every platform, the likes of Trend Micro need to offer comprehensive coverage if they want consumers to fork out money for a similar service.

The latest refresh of Trend Micro's Titanium Maximum Security suite has done just that, combining a series of both preventative and post infection measures to keep not only your PC or Mac virus safe, but also your Android device.

It comes in two versions, one with a three device license for AU$109.95 (69.95, $US89.95), and another for five devices, worth AU$129.95 (79.95).

Trend Micro's main strength is as a preventative measure against infection. Maximum security protects your computer against all kinds of internet nasties, from viruses, spyware, worms and trojans through to identity theft, as well as pre-emptively blocking dangerous websites.

Additionally, Maximum security also tries to be the one stop shop for online security by offering parental controls and letting you control the privacy settings of all your social networks.

You also get 5GB of online storage in Trend Micro's SafeSync vault, which is a 5GB drop over last year's release for Australians. At the same time, Trend also has the Premium Security suite offering 25GB in the cloud for a premium price, which explains the storage drop.

Installation should be a relatively simple affair, but getting the software onto a Mac offered some unexpected hurdles. The Trend Micro software required us to delete some old, free antivirus software from the machine in order to install. Unfortunately, the only way we were able to completely remove the older software was to go into Terminal.

This is hardly Trend Micro's fault, but it could pose problems for any consumer looking to make the step up from free anti-virus software to a paid version.

Fortunately, once installed, the software is designed not only for simplicity, but to be on in the background without requiring constant feedback from the user.

The app's settings page offers four tabs: Overview, Web, Scans and Logs, which is where customers can control what the software is doing, how often it does it and what it has done in the past.

Review: Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2014

The Hindu Stallmans message and movement, however, do find resonance among the younger lot on campuses, where over the past decade, several GNU Linux User Groups or GLUGs that distinguish themselves from the technology-focussed LUGs have come up. Photo: Special arrangement

Its been 30 years since software legend Richard Stallman typed a short missive informing the world about his plans for the future of software: Free Unix!.

On September 23, 1983, he started work on GNU a recursive acronym for GNUs Not Unix a UNIX-compatible software system that was free in the truest sense of the word.

As Stallman would later go on to describe, the freedom wasnt just about the cost but about the freedom or liberty to run, copy, change, improve and distribute the software. In short, it took the control of software production from the hands of big business interests and gave it to users. The battle, as Stallman would continually emphasise, was as much about ideology as it was about technology.

Thirty years later, open source software is all around us be it the widely-used Android operating system or variants of Linux that run your servers. But, free software, is still far from reality with the cloud and software as a service models constantly making users surrender controlover their computing, as Stallman puts it, in his post this week.

Even in Bangalore, much of the activity around Linux is more in the realm of open source movements. Linux user groups are popular among professionals, and short courses that train technologists on Linux platforms earn good money.

Stallmans message and movement, however, do find resonance among the younger lot on campuses, where over the past decade, several GNU Linux User Groups or GLUGs that distinguish themselves from the technology-focussed LUGs have come up. These GLUGs are technology-focussed groups that collaborate closely on free and open source projects, organise seminars on technology and are near evangelical on using and working on Linux. A few GLUGs have even managed to convince private engineering college managements to migrate entire laboratories, that were earlier deeply entrenched in a proprietary ecosystem, to free software systems.

Says Prabodh C.P., assistant professor, CSE department, the Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur, and a free software activist: GLUGS are a great way of exposing students to a world beyond books and tech theory. The idea is to enable students have a peer-to-peer learning approach, where they come together and learn together, like a common interest group.

Mr. Prabodh explains that though the GLUGs start out learning new technologies together, as the group matures, typically the technology sessions expand into looking at the ideological roots of free software and why it makes sense.

A lot of it also inspires students into activism, he explains.
