Amazon.com Review
PC-Cillin 2000 is both easy to install and to use, offering state-of-the-art antivirus protection. These two qualities are vital to the success of the program, since many computer users barely give any thought to such an essential facet of computer use and rarely want to be bothered with such mundane tasks.
PC-Cillin practically installs itself, and once installed, it automatically and constantly scans not only the files already on your drive, but also those you download from the Net and open in e-mail or on your browser. Based on Microsoft and VeriTest specifications, PC-Cillin offers minimal administration and configuration, while featuring maximum protection.
Automatic and behind-the-scenes protection are the operative keywords to PC-Cillin. Once installed, a few clicks allow it to scan every selected hard drive on a regular schedule. Also, PC-Cillin can be configured to automatically download the latest definition files for newly discovered viruses on a daily, weekly, or other regular basis, in addition to an immediate manual update.
PC-Cillin's exceptional feature is its ability to monitor incoming Internet traffic, whether it's inbound e-mail in Outlook or Web browsing in Explorer. With the proliferation of e-mail viruses, this feature alone makes PC-Cillin worthwhile.
PC-Cillin can best be described as easy, discrete, and thorough, and there is a level of comfort that one feels after installing this kind of protection. --Mike Caputo

5.0 out of 5 stars
Problem free, unobtrusive, Simply the best!,
This review is from: PC-Cillin 2000 Virus Protection (CD-ROM)
I used to have Mcafee virus scan and would do periodic virus checks, then moved on to Norton Internet Security, and now I have finally found the best in PC-Cillin 2000.The big problem I had with McAfee and Norton, was NOT the protection offered, they were very well with frequent updates. The real problem is remembering to run virus scans with McAfee (or having scheduled runs interupt my work). It was even worse with Norton, which offered a lot of protection, but anytime a cookie or java applet appeared a warning would follow. It became very obtrusive and annoying, as well as causing a few system crashes. PC-Cillin 2000 gets five stars from me because it allows the net protection of Notron Internet Secuirty with all the virus protection of McAfee, AND you do not notice that it is even there. Sure when you start your web browser the PC-Cillin 2000 banner appears for 3 seconds while loading, but after that, you will not be disturbed or annoyed with interuptions. Installation and use, too simple to even describe, pop in the cd, follow the online instructions, and you are done. No scheduling or remembering to run this, it will run in the backgrounf just fine. Security, ease of use, no annoyances, this is the best out there.

What Antivirus Software Should Be,
By A Customer
This review is from: PC-Cillin 2000 Virus Protection (CD-ROM)
After reading excellent reviews on online forums, I decided to download PC-cillin 2000. During installation, it found eight viruses on my system. Just the day before, I had updated my Norton AntiVirus (NAV) 5.0, run an all files scan, and gotten a clean report. As you can imagine, NAV went right in the trash. PC-cillin 2000 seemed to perform a very thorough scan, taking some time on compressed files (.zip, etc.), which I considered to be a good thing. Updating the virus pattern database is straightforward and hassle free.PC-cillin 2000 sports a clean, intuitive interface. The background is default gray, and there are just enough graphics to guide the eye. As it should be with any utility that spends most of its time running in the background, PC-cillin's goods are on the inside. The result is that PC-cillin takes up only 14MB on your hard drive (compared to the 50MB that the bloated NAV 2001 with its graphics intensive interface requires), yet does its job better than its competition. Trend Micro's tech support is great too. I read on the Internet that PC-cillin 2000 was given some special recognition by Microsoft. Trend Micro is also embarking on a corporate security software project with ZoneLabs, manufacturer of ZoneAlarm, an outstanding firewall application. This kind of recognition speaks highly of Trend Micro and its antivirus technology. In case I haven't made it obvious, I am quite impressed with PC-cillin 2000 and recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars
PCcillin 6 virus scan,
By Don Crumpton (San Diego, Ca.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: PC-Cillin 2000 Virus Protection (CD-ROM)
One of the best virus scans I`ve seen and used. It`s as good or better than Mcafee and Norton. The web site is easer to get to and not as busy, and they have a Email right on your version and a 1 800. # you can call. They answered my Email right away with very good answers. It` worth a try! `
