  Strengths: I am a Norton anti-virus user but then i still turn to Pc-cillin, becouse norton giving me a big problem example the cd-key and stuff. Pc-cillin fire wall can track almost everything, good interface, friendly user.

  Weaknesses: I use Ad-Aware Pro it still can detact something the Pc-cllin cannot do,and mostly the fire wall can be very sensitive things that is not suppost to block. Example : hamachi or trying to install some games or software. The software can be said is left behind for the lates virus and adware.

  Overall: Is hard for me to search for the fire wall exception list interface can be improve and it is better they improve or upgrade more on the Adware, back door and gray area.. If this are done, i can give a Superior on the software

  Strengths: Easy interface; great customization; easily disconnect from network when installing new software for which you must turn off you antivirus and other safty applications

  Weaknesses: A bit intense for newbies -- but still worth the effort to learn

  Overall: After more than 15 years with Norton SystemWorks (including Anti-Virus) I am thrilled to have switched to PC-Cillin! Finally, our computers are Norton free -- and they do run faster and more reliably. The last straw was the inability of Norton to update its AntiVirus component and other features of SystemWorks. It just wouldn't install the updates. Calls to Norton's incompetent overseas tech support yielded the brilliant response of "Uninstall and then reinstall" --- which of course made no difference whatsoever on all 4 computers. So I tried the free 30-day trial of PC-Cillin Internet Security and was blown away with its relative ease of use (given its extensive capabilities), flawless updating, and the great control it gives over connecting to the Internet. A sheer joy to use! Goodbye Norton forever.

  Strengths: Instantly blocks any attempt a hacker tries whether it is to connect to wi-fi or drop-in a file to alter a setting on the browser. I am very pleased and also find its interface seriously easy to use. I find it amazing how up to the minute Trend Micro keeps its app. current.

  Weaknesses: So far there is only one area of weakness thats been displayed .Spycar.org. showed me that it allows a file download to install a registry key.

  Overall: Overall, this product has performed beyond my realistic expectations...but I was told it would. Something I do appreciate is that when settings are set, the software performs as it should, meaning I don't need be concerned about 'will it work' exactly! I've relaxed. Oh, did I mention upon its first scan it caught 36 items including two viruses and one spyware cookie that Norton 2006 internet security overlooked! Would I recommend PC-cillin 2006? Do I have to say it?

  Strengths: Effective. Won't slow your computer down. Easy to install and operate.

  Weaknesses: At first, annoying little pop-ups telling you the program is updating. Simple to deactivate.

  Overall: I prefer this program to Norton's or McAfee's. It's just as effective but easier to navigate than the pricier others. It won't slow down the computer on boot like Norton's. It was easy to install and operate.

  Strengths: Simple,Adjustable settings to your needs,Free Tech Support-not ridiculous like Nortons $30.00 per problem. Great Internet Security.

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall: I definitely am very well pleased with this software. Smooth and very reasonable priced. Allfour of the anti virus test that I have tried rates this program at 100% detection. I will never go back to Norton.

  Strengths: Easy to install, allows for free upgrade to 2007 version.

  Weaknesses: Generates alot of warnings on which have to be allowed access, these slow down as time goes on

  Overall: A good virus scan& firewall. The 2006 edition I installed on one PC. And I upgraded to the 2007 version on another PC.Both work about the same. ( The 2007 ver. seems to have more messages to respond to.) I would say this is easier software to administer than Norton/Symantic. A good alternative to others which have alot of bells and whistles which you don't need. And have too many "big brother" programs. Allows you to tailor to you needs.

  Strengths: good protection.

  Weaknesses: too intrusive.

  Overall: Product would be much better if it did not drive you crazy with notices,warnings,etc. Sometimes it is hard to accomplish anything with all the interuptions, notices, warnings that you have to stop and fix.

  Strengths: Easy Installation. Excellent Internet Security. Excellent Anti Virus and Anti Spam

  Weaknesses: Frequent updates are annoying, but tolerable.

  Overall: Excellent product. I have used Trend before this purchase and will continue to use Trend PC-Cillin Internet Security. Prior to switching to Trend, I used Norton for years. Over the past few years, Norton became so large that it drained computer resources to run.Trend does not consume excessive computer resources. It is easy to install and operate. It is very good at picking up spam mail also.
