Review by D. Brennan

A few weeks back I wrote a favorable review for Bit defender. I have since reconsidered that opinion, my wife’s computer having been infected by a virus AND watching Bit defender crash over and over again. Macafee failed me big time a couple of weeks later when it basically seized up one of my other computers.

I installed Trend Micro on my wife’s infected computer and it promptly discovered several of the virus/trojan components, where Bit Defender failed to discover any. Unfortunately Trend Micro did not find ALL of the virus components. I know this because I installed and ran MalwayeBytes after Trend Micro completely scanned the hard drive, and Malware Bytes found several files that Trend Micro missed.

Preventing and treating computer viruses is a pain, but TrendMicro seems to be a better ally to have on your side tahn Bit Defender or Macafee.
