 100% CPU utilization - slowed my computer to a crawl November 23, 2006

Like many of the other reviewers, I was a big fan of Trend Micro's Anti-Virus software.... I found it to be superior to Norton's product in many ways. I upgraded to their Internet Security 2007 and my computer has slowed to a crawl... and if you google "Trend Micro cpu utilization" or read the other reviews you will see that I'm in good company.
I called their company 800# on Thanksgiving day and they answered with no delay (I guess it's not a big holiday in India...). The tech - Mike - told me that the product is not compatible with internet explorer's latest edition and that a patch would be available in early 2007. He said that if I used Firefox as a browser there would be no problem -- but there still is.
I am going to take his final advice -- uninstall the software and return to just the anti-virus product. Too bad -- they had a great brand name until this piece of garbage software. My suspicion is they rushed it out to complete with Microsoft's new Live One Care ... which also offers 3 licenses per package.
Caveat emptor!!
Worse than any virus your PC could ever get! December 9, 2006

I am absolutely amazed that this piece of garbage was shoved out the door for sale to the consumer. Read my reviews, see how I praised the last 2 years of this product. I was happy to upgrade when I received the email from them. It's such a great product, I had no qualms for upgrading every year.
I downloaded the new installer and viola! the problems started. First off, this program requires you to uninstall older versions of the previous product. Well I was a happy user of PC-Cillin 2006 and thought no problem. Big mistake! Their uninstaller couldn't rid my system of all of the files so every time I ran the installer I was told another version existed on my computer and I needed to uninstall. Guess what? The uninstaller cleared out enough files that it couldn't launch the uninstaller for 2006. What a joke! It took a special uninstaller from the company to clear out all of the garbage. I should have known right there that 2007 was going to be a disaster. To my surprise (not really) 2007 would not install/load properly. And the best part? It cleared out my 2006 so I had nothing to go back to.
Can you say ZoneLabs Internet Security? I can, did and I'm not looking back!
How does garbage like this get out to the market? Steer clear if you value your PC.

I am just now ordering the 2007 version. -I'll update this when it comes in.- But if it is as good (or better) tan the 2006 version, it is by far the best anti-virus software out there.
I'm a full time geek who is probably responsible for about 100 machines or so at any point in time. Starting about 3 months ago, this is the only anti-virus I recommend. Norton has gotten to be so horrible in the last few years it was was worse than a virus.
I was literally to the point where I told customers to just keep thier Windows updated and not run an anti-virus, because the anti-virus software was more annoying than your typical virus.
PC-Cillin is logical, well thought out and easy to use. It actually protects my users without pestering them to death!
I'll update this with features and benefits when I get the new version but let be say this as someone with a decade or two in the business... By the time you run sp2 and all the Windows patches. (all 470,000 of them;-) XP is actually getting fairly secure.
When Vista launches, we start all over again. Having a good anti-virus will again be important, and this one is the best there is.
Finally a Great Antivirus! October 9, 2006

I used to have Norton for years. After all it was the industry standard, but after it let many a virus slip on through; I had enough.
I knew I would not get McAfee as I have repaired many computers with Mcaffee in the past (working in the computer field.)
So I checked all the ratings and saw that Trend Micro and Kaspersky did the best in all of the ratings. I dediced to go with Trend Micro since their software edged out Kaspersky.
Well two years later I have not looked back. I got a Trojan recently, but I called the free tech support at Trend Micro (they are the only antivirus company that offers that)- and they bailed me out. They were very helpful, spent a lot of time with me, etc. After following a few quick instructions I was back in business and my computer was clean as a whistle.
When I had Norton, I would have to email them or be charged $40 for a phone call after their software let a virus in. Talk about nerve. No more, Trend Micro is head and shoulders above the rest!
A Featureset Too Far November 22, 2006

After two good years with the 2005 and 2006 versions of Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security, I proceed to perform my yearly upgrade to the 2007 version prior to renewing my virus subscription.
Alas, the user experience of the 2007 version was so inferior to the preceding two years' that I uninstalled it and went to a competing product (Kaspersky).
The problem began when I displayed 2007's control panel / user interface. A new and entirely unwanted right-side panel for supplementary network services automatically appeared each time I started the user interface. Worse yet, there was no user-accessible control for preventing it from opening every time I started the u.i. An email exchange with Trend, requiring two days to complete, was necessary to learn which key in the Windows Registry I needed to edit to turn this darn "feature" off.
Next, and unlike the preceding two years' versions, I started having problems with erratic startup. Sometimes all of Trend 2007's necessary Windows services would start at boot, sometimes they wouldn't. If they didn't, I had to bang around the Windows services tool to kick them into life. Even then, parts of the u.i. remained unavailable unless I shut the program completely down and restarted anew. What a pain!
So I began two-day email exchange number two. This time I was directed to use a special uninstall utility to *completely* remove the existing build of 2007, download a newer build, and install a "fixed" version. Okay, that fixed the erratic startup problem but the email exchange with Trend Micro burned up another two days not to mention the time I spent uninstalling / reinstalling / editing the Windows Registry / etc.
Finally, I started to explore all the new 2007 features. Oops -- I received an "invalid instruction address" error message when I tried to open a particular feature's controls.
Once again a two-day email exchange with Trend support was necessary. Once again I downloaded a putatively newer build, used the utility to uninstall the old build, and installed a third updated version. Alas, the identical error presented itself when I went to the u.i. controls for the feature.
Well, since I need to use my computer as a tool of work I had no more time to spend debugging Trend's software for it. So, feeling a combination of anger ("why won't it work?") and sorrow ("idiots, why did they have to wreck a good product?"), I uninstalled and installed a competing product.
Trend Micro Internet Security 2007, unlike my 2005-2006 versions, simply wasn't usable. My experience was that Trend went just a bit too far with new and not necessarily useful features and not far enough with the quality assurance necessary to ensure that all the features worked...
