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.

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!

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

I found the Trend Micro software to be a welcome change after trying other anti-virus software programs (especially Panda and Norton) that slooooowed my computer to a snail’s pace. Trend has had no noticeable impact on my system’s performance, and it is delightfully unobtrusive for the most part — other anti-virus software, especially Norton and McAfee, but also Panda to an extent, seem to love proudly “announcing” their accomplishments several times a day (“Norton has just ______”; McAfee is now doing ____”). I mean, it’s nice to know the software is working, but my thinking is, just do your job well and shut up! Trend seems to have WAY less annoying notifications. It is also perfectly compatible with Windows 7.
I waited a couple of months to write my review, to see what would develop, and I’m glad I did. One minor annoyance is that Trend, on a couple of occasions, deleted cookies from a couple of store’s websites that I visited. It was truly a MINOR problem — it didn’t, for example, delete my email website’s cookies or anything that annoying. And I figured, well, if it’s vigilant against spyware, maybe that’s a reasonable price to pay (because it HAS found spyware and successfully removed it).
The only major problem I had was about a week ago, when I suddenly was unable to use any of the 3 photo editing/importing programs I have installed on my computer, as well as a couple of other programs…my computer would freeze to the extent that I had to do 7 force-shutdowns in the same day. I was truly puzzled, as I hadn’t “changed” anything on the computer — then Trend popped up a note that said a recent Trend update may have caused problems on my computer that could result in a system freeze. They promised to fix the update shortly — it took them about a day and a half, but they did send a new update that fixed the problem. Since then it’s been perfectly fine — but that was WAY more than a minor inconvenience.
So…I’d like to say that I recommend Trend to a Windows 7 user, but that was a major problem. They did fix it, but for some people, 24-48 hours is a LONG time to go without the full use of their computer! I am hoping that is the last incident of that kind with Trend…time will tell.
————————-
UPDATE: 3/27/10 — So, I uninstalled Trend and went back to using a previous anti-virus/spyware software (Vipre)that I already had, since I had a couple of months left on the yearly subscription. Guess what? NO MORE problems! My laptop is working perfectly, no more crashing, since I uninstalled Trend. *ahh* Total relief.
So it was definitely Trend that was causing ALL of the problems. I would say “run” from Trend, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE USING WINDOWS 7. Bummer…it started out so promising!

I don’t care what others say, Trend Micro has been the best I’ve used since I got online in th last 12 years with my sony vaio. It has never give me an issue and I trust it wholeheartedly. I’ve tried other top names over the years and Trend Micro has been the most consistent, reliable, and get-it-done protection. It’s easy to use and so far I’ve never had a breach since using it. It runs in the background and sometimes so quietly I forget it’s there.
