Review by Robert Moore

I have Trend Micro’s Internet Security on one computer at home and Bit Defender on another. I have to declare myself thoroughly delighted with both of them. I knew Trend Micro from 8 or 9 years ago when I got to know it as a free online system scanner. I used it several times to rid myself of pesky viruses that McAfee could not deal with.

The specific thing I like about the Trend Micro is that it really doesn’t slow the system down at all, while providing apparently great protection (I’ve had no virus problems that I’m aware of). Some antivirus programs I’ve used really slow the computer down and make looking at pages on the Internet a drag. But the Trend Micro has been almost invisible.

I have been very happy with the feature whereby it clears out the malicious cookies that are downloaded onto my computer through surfing the Internet. Each day it deletes spybots and data miners without my prompting it.

If you are looking for a very fine internet security program I can definitely recommend this one. My assessment is based on only one month of use, but that has been a completely incident free month.
