Trend Micro is a well-known name in the computer security business along with Norton and Kaspersky.

Most of these manufacturers have different suites that include more or less components. I could never understand why somebody would buy only the Antivirus version of a program instead of buying the full suite that has Antivirus, Firewall and Parental Control.

This software is one of lowest packages offered by Trend Micro and it does what was designed for. It takes some time to install and when it comes to performance (slowing down the machine) I still prefer Norton. You can feel that this one is installed.

As far as virus detection, it performs OK but all the security software developers have ups and downs. If you read computer magazines, you know that from time to time they do Security Suites comparisons based on the virus detection percentage and usually from test to test different manufacturers win the first place.

I prefer Norton because the performance impact is minimal and provides adequate protection.
