Review by Harkius

I read their claims that the cloud technology keeps your computer from slowing down. I guess that they must mean that it keeps your computer from getting VIRUSES that slow it down. Because the updates (daily and large) certainly drain my system resources. As do the scans, which tend to take a couple hours for a thorough scan of less than 1 million files (most of them are system files…you’d be surprised how many files are really on your computer).

That said, it is still better than Kaspersky. Or the Awful Twins (McAfee and Bit Defender), neither of which I will ever voluntarily allow near my system again. I hope to get Norton soon for comparison. I’ve heard that the latter most is something like the Lexus of antivirus, so I am intrigued. For those on more a Toyota budget, however, this certainly seems to be reliable and effective on my machine…it stopped a threat that was from a jump drive in the autorun boot sector, which could have been really hard on my system, so I am a fan of TrendMicro, even if it is a bit slow and unwieldy.
