5.0 out of 5 stars Rock solid protection, December 30, 2009

This review is from: Trend Micro Antivirus + Antispyware 2010 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

(What's this?)

Honestly, I believe that all AV software is pretty good at providing protection. I have four PC's and I run different AV software on all of them. Mostly because I get free versions to review. As of right now I am using McAfee, AVG, Viper and TrendMicro and they all work well.

What I like best about TrendMicro is that is stays out of the way (does not take up too many resources) and it installs and un-installs easily.

I wrestled with Norton and vowed to never, ever use them again. It simply took over my PC and it took forever to scrub it off my system; not so with TrendMicro; it runs very cleanly.

Very nice, great protection and easy on the system. That's all I want out of a AV package.

PS - it would be nice if this included a Firewall, but that is why we have Comodo!

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware if you have Vista, October 7, 2009

By 

Christy (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trend Micro Antivirus + Antispyware 2010 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

The old version worked great with Vista, but then it expired. The new version installs but will not open/run. After hours of online chatting with customer service (since if you call the phone number it tells you to go online and hangs up on you--3 different numbers) I got nowhere. Beware, it's a real time-waster. Go with something else, Vipre seems to run fine so far.
UPDATE: 3 weeks later, still waiting for my refund.

3.0 out of 5 stars Trend Micro 2010 better then Norton, but not better then Vipre, January 6, 2010

This review is from: Trend Micro Antivirus + Antispyware 2010 [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

(What's this?)

This is my fifth version of Trend Micro Antivirus. This time around Trend Micro did a little better then normal by improving it's over-all speed. Install time wasn't that bad, taking only about 15 minutes on my laptop with a 2.4 GHz processor. Now this program does do a pretty good job on protecting my computer from viruses and spyware, but it does it EXTREMELY slow. I would highly recommend spending a little bit on a more more expensive Antivirus like Kaspersky or Vipre, and get well over 3x the speed! If speed is not an issue for you and you have more time than money this WILL do the job, like i said earlier, I've never really had much trouble with it NOT stopping a virus, so...
Overall, it's a good software for the price,I prefer it over Norton/Mcaffe but there IS much better software out there
