Review by Amazon Customer

I have been a big fan for Trend Micro for the last four years; however, I made the switch away from Trend Micro when the 2007 version came out. Many security vendors continued to make improvements on the resource usages every year. Trend Micro was getting worse with the initial load time. The load time for the security suite 2007 was too slow for my taste.

I figured I would give the 2009 version another chance. Once again I am not impressed with install and load times. The install too long because the update process, The load time after reboot continue to be a drag. Once loaded Trend Micro does NOT take a large amount of system resources and the scan time are fairly quick. However; I have decide to uninstall it and use other product because of the initial load time / update process.

The pro version is packed with many features, including my favorite the keystoke encryprtion. This will prevent any software application from stealing information as you type.

I would recommend the product for the protection value, scan speed, and the small load on the system resources and if you do not mind the initial load time then you will be completely satisfied. I just hate slower boot times. There are better products out there when it comes to preventing spyware/malware, so I recommend just using an additional anti-spyware program to overcome that. (Adware 2008, Spybot, Spyware Doctor Starter Edition)nnHaving something is better than nothing.
