 Great Product, more than I expected October 23, 2007

First I downloaded this product to my husband's laptop. His Norton AV was expiring, and we both had SpySweeper Antispyware on our computers, and the last couple of Spysweeper updates were causing so many problems with false positives...finding cookies and quarantining them so that we had to re-enter passwords on things like our homepage and Amazon. Pain in the behind. Anyway, after uninstalling the old antispyware and antivirus, I downloaded the trial version...although rated #1 in Consumer Reports, I wanted to check it out myself. It downloaded perfectly, fast and easy, and after updating and scanning, it went to work. PLUS, there was NO CONFLICT with other programs (BitDefender was a conflict with LoJack for Laptops and never did get that resolved which is why he went to NortonAV!) I was so impressed that I ordered the Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 from Amazon, fast service, fast delivery, lowest price by $10.
When it arrived, I uninstalled all my old antispyware/antivirus programs and installed it on my desktop. I did the customized install in order to retain Windows Firewall instead of using the Trend Micro firewall (they told me that theirs might conflict with the firewall in our router, so I played it safe there). Again, smooth, easy install. I ran the program update as advised during the install, and the full scan, and it's working great. Catches things that Spysweeper and BitDefender did not catch. One of my favorite things is that it lets me manage cookies easily (not so with the others) and its spam filter works well, catching things that slipped through before. Also it's easy to configure to my liking. I have absolutely nothing to dislike about this program.
Then I uninstalled in on my husband's laptop (which went perfectly, not like Michael's complaints below) and reinstalled it from the CD. Same thing....perfect, clean, easy install.
Both computers now boot up faster than they ever have.
I'd recommend this program, but first you MUST uninstall any other antispyware/antivirus to get a clean install, (which is also true when installing any other brands of antivirus) and also disable other firewalls, or choose not to through their customize option during installation....you can't run more than one firewall, per TM technical support. BTW, right now, since the product is so new, there is a wait time if you call, but they assured me that would improve once they get past this initial new release period.
Bottom line: Highly recommend this program.

I've has Trend Micro security since 2005 liked it and had no problems. The 2008 edition will not autoload on boot up dispite 5 calls to tech support who cannot find a solution. To make it load I have to run services.msc and sort through files and manually initiate a restart of the trend central component file. Obviously a bug that may affect not all but some computers.

I have been using the 2007 version of TM Internet Security, I really liked how is worked, made me feel more secure, I just upgraded to the Trend Micro Pro, andI love it except for I dont get pop up warnings or info notifications, such as inspecting incoming/outgoing mail, or flags pop when i enter a website loaded with spyware, thats the con, the pros is fixes threats automatically, more options for better security and the the ability to turn on Keystroke Encryption wich i really like, shows wireless signal strength and also has the trendprotect built in, but I will always choose Trend Micro Products over any other antivirus internet security products
If you have the 2007 version of Trend Micro internet security you can download the upgrade to the Pro you wont have to pay for it, you just down load it and it upgrades the 2007 version and you just renew whenever you 2007 liscense runs out,

Made the mistake of renewing and buying 3 PC license deal from Trend through Digital River on line. They not only overcharged me, but did not get my new expiration date correct (6 months?!) and refused to reply to my many emails. Never did get the 3 PC license, either.
Buy hard copy only!
Excellent product, exceptional value October 8, 2007

I've used prior versions of Trend's internet security (or simply anti-virus) products, and I've found them to be excellent for home and small office use. I have computers running Vista Premium, XP Pro, and XP Home, and easily loaded this version on all three machines. Ignore the reviewer who said it only worked on one computer, that's horse hockey.
How does it compare to the others? Well, most of my other experiences have been with Symantec, and I prefer Trend over Symantec. Symantec's corporate edition is excellent for the workplace, and it's saved my bacon numerous times in my past roles as a network administrator. But the home version of Symantec is just too piggish, and the latest version of Symantec's product is just plain annoying (I received a trial version with my Vista machine). I found the Symantec interface to be very unintuitive, like a badly designed web page. That finally blew itself up after 1 month, not because the trial period ran out, but because it's junk software. That inspired me to stick with the tried and true Trend Micro, and I was impressed with how much better the interface was for Trend. Incredibly easy to use and install. I recommend this to all of my friends who seem to think that internet security software is "optional" (then they call me up to come over and fix their computers).
