 Easy to Install and Use October 24, 2008
R. J Kaucher (Cincinnati, OH)
36 out of 39 found this review helpful
As an IT professional with years of experience in consumer support I feel it's almost a duty to review security software such as TrendMicro's Internet Security suite. But in order to properly understand my review I need to explain that I have some pretty strict criteria for my evaluation.
1. Ease of use, installation and maintenance: the application suite must be easy for the average user to install maintain, and use. Ideally the product should be out of sight out of mind as much as possible, simply performing its job in the background.
2. Lack of interference in daily use of the PC: the application suite should not slow down a modern PC with reasonable hardware specifications; it should not bother the user with pop-ups about what it is doing nor with minor "threats" such as cookies.
3. Level of threat protection : the user's PC should be protected against network (attacks used by worms), web (attacks used by hackers on the web) and file system attacks (malicious file downloads).
4. Ease of customization when required: if something is blocked that should not be, a reasonably proficient user should not need to seek professional help configuring the application.
ThrendMicro is, in my opinion, one of the best producers of security software available. In "ease of use and maintenance" they score very highly. Any user who is able to install software and actually understand the process will be able to install a consumer product produced by Trend. ***** so five stars for category one.
However they still only score three stars for lack of interference. The software does NOT slow down the PC (Pentium D, with 2GB RAM, not a high end machine) but companies like Trend, Symantec, and McAfee need to understand that if I can manually put the window from a scan to run invisibly in the background, maybe it should just run there anyway. I also don't care that Trend has deleted the cookies from my computer. I don't want to be told about the removal of threats of the most minimal risk level. I have also found several legit sites that were blocked that annoyed me. For example, I tried to watch streaming video from FOX's web site and it was blocked. ***-- for category two.
Five stars, though, for threat protection. If your system is up-to-date, Trend is up-to-date and you do not disable it you will almost certainly not get infected. The problem arises when the user participates in high-risk behaviors like file sharing (bit-torrent, eMule, etc) and then disables the software to access something they shouldn't. This is the surest way to 0wn3d, to use a technical term. *****
I have to give them credit on ease of customization. Unlike Symantec's Endpoint Protection (which was a nightmare for nearly all categories) Trend's products have always had a simple, easy to understand interface. They use intuitive names like "web protection" for their services enabling even unsophisticated users to understand where to click when they need to find something.
4 ½ overall score. Not bad! I highly recommend this software to protect your PC.

I've read reviews where users have stated that Trend Micro has slowed their computer down etc.......
I think we all need to keep in mind that depending if you've already maxed out your computers RAM & HD........yeah sure, it won't work as well (FAST) as if you have plenty of space for it to do it's job!
I have it installed currently on an older computer & a newer one (both however are using windows XP Home & while th older computer is close to 80% maxed out, it works perfectly, without a hitch, just as it should!
So when evaluating IF this is the protection software that is best for you, please remember to compare "apples to apples"!
IF someone says it is GREAT, or a lemon, find out what type of a computer they installed it on & the operating system, RAM, HD & whether or not it was already topped out!
As for our family, we could not be more pleased, we have had Norton & others in the past & prefer Trend Micro much more, it has all the bells & whistles we need & want!
Hope this helps you decide what will be best for your needs! Good Luck!!
 Demo it before you buy! November 30, 2008

After 3 installation attempts, following directions carefully regarding uninstalling previous programs, etc., I get the blue screen of death each time. Can't get computer to run long enough to uninstall it so I have had to restore the system settings from safe mode after each attempt. I am disappointed since I have been a Trend Micro user for several years and liked their products but this is unacceptable. Installation proceeded normally, and I even was able to register and activate software before it goes blue. I finally gave up and installed Norton Internet Security as a demo and it worked perfectly. Given the software return policy, I will never buy before I test a security package again. This package may work great for some, but unless you want to spend a lot of time working on problems yourself or with tech support (only available M-F), I would highly recommend doing a demo first BEFORE you buy. I am prepared for a few installation difficulties but this is absurd. I guess I will be a Norton user for the next year at least.
 Score for the little guy October 31, 2008

This little package did all that I wanted it to. It isn't a bloated product as I would expect from the 2 powerhouses of anti-virus software. It was easy to install. it even uninstalled a security program that I forgot about before it installed itself. The updating process was quick and the choice of features was all that I ever will really need.
Subjectively, it did appear to make my PC boot faster. Since this was on a single PC, I had nothing to compare it to. For the price I find it hard to beat.
 Does the job - but has some drawbacks December 22, 2008

I get this software for free through my university and find it does a good job providing protection from phishing and viruses. I have used Norton, McAfee, and Zone Alarm in the past and find the Trend Micro interface the most efficient and easy to use. I have it installed on two PCs, both running XP. One system is pretty spartan in applications installed and the other system has tons of apps and lots of extra hardware. Trend Micro plays well on both systems.
However, there are three things I have come across that bring the rating down to three stars.
1. This is a really slow scanner. It takes the better part of an HOUR to scan my hard drive with only 12 gigs of data on it.
2. It really slows down a wireless connection. I liked the fact that it uses a higher level of security for wireless connections but was not too happy with the subsequent performance degradation.
3. If you set it up to prompt you for permission before sending your identified personal information over the internet - a great feature - it always asks twice and requires you to put your password in twice (a small annoyance). But, it also puts a warning page in your browser window which requires one to use the back button to get to the previous web page. Some HTTPS pages do not allow this action and once I had to shut down the program to complete a transaction because Trend Micro would not allow it even after clicking the "allow" button.
If these things are not a hindrance for you, give Trend Micro a try. For me, it is more of "the price is right" issue.
