Good protection, does what it needed to do and not a memory hog, seems to always update, but thats a good thing, always up to date.
When I bought my Dell this was installed on it and the program seemed to be effective for the first nine months of my subscription. I had to download Norton to get rid of 2 downloaders, trojan.adclicker, adware.purityscan, adware.ismonitor, 2 trojan.vundo, and a trojan horse. However it stopped working or updating with about three months left. It turns out that a virus had disabled it, even though that's what it's supposed to protect against. I would advise against this product. I'll never use another Trend product.
Purchased 3-years of PC-Cillin with my Dell desktop. Useless and non-functioning (compliments the Dell quite nicely, actually). With two years of paid coverage remaining, I deleted this nightmare of a program entirely and went with Comcast's McAfee freebie.
I want to give it a zero rating but Amazon won't let me. Trust me, Trend Micro belongs in the trash where I ended up throwing it. Well, buyers BEWARE when uninstalling Trend Micro using the Add/Remove funcion in Control Panel it may corrupt your drivers.
Well, 1 month, and about 10 emails to Trend Micro tech support later, I still can't get the thing installed on my 2nd computer. Also, if you ever have the misfortune of having to deal with their email tech support, your problem will be passed around constantly to different tech support agent and answers and solution will most likely be repeated.even though they didn't work the 1st or the 2nd time around. PC-Cillin was pre-installed on a Dell XPS Laptop I just recently purchased and it offers to protect up to 2 other computers in your home network for free for the duration of your 1yr membership.
I had to reformat my computer and reinstall Win XP because of it. The additional serial numbers that came with my initial copy won't register. The first thing Trend Micro tech support told me to do was to reinstall and to download another copy.
You will find yourself having to re-explain what the situation is over and over again. I will be uninstalling it from my XPS laptop just to make sure I don't have this garbage on my computer.
Do not buy this product. I have ask them to stop sending emails but they are still comming. Trend Micro said they would not refund on a store product.
I bought Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 from Best Buy. So I am out $70.00. If you feel you must, buy it from Trend Micro website or you will not have a warranty.
Best Buy would not refund an opened product. It would lock up during a scan. After many attempts at getting service I ask for my money back.
And they are still sending emails with no solution to the problem. Worse than a virus.
