  Strengths: Great detection rate of malware/spyware and adware. Quick scan time, great pro-active defense, low on Cpu/ram.

  Weaknesses:None at all !!

  Overall Evaluation: The best Internet security suite, the pro edition is even better packed with features such as folder/vault lock, only security suite which has Wi-Fi feature. I am also using Nod32 & Kaspersky on my other systems - but i prefer trend micro over them both! I had a few days ago downloaded about 500 kegens just to have them tested with Trend micro & kaspersky - while trend micro Zapped 99% of the keygens, kaspersky failed to detect any! I must also add that i had most of the keygens scanned online on 3 different websites to see if Trend micro gave any false positives. I can bet Trend micro is 100% better than any other !!

  Strengths: Quick scans, will shut computer down afer scanning if you choose to, does not bog down system, lots of features, easy interface

  Weaknesses:Conflicts with a lot of other spyware software (AdAware to name one) and other utilities (System Mechanic). Occasional error messages w/ XP system, some not able to be resolved even with tech support.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a very effective security suite. I've had three Trend Micro products in the past five years and all have been very fast and have prevented malware breakouts. Unfortunately, this 2008 "Pro" version is riddled with bugs... I'm a regular customer with their tech support due to various error messages that keep popping up in XP. Also, the software is completely incompatible with some common products such as AdAware and iolo System Mechanic. It would not even install without first uninstalling the others first. In my case, I like to have multiple spyware removal tools since one is bound not to catch all of the baddies.

  Strengths: Excellent 'out of your face' virus / spyware protection, easy to install

  Weaknesses:Firewall is annoying and not easily 'trained'

  Overall Evaluation: Been a fan of Trend-Micro for years now. I like that it simply does it's job and isn't constantly annoying you with warnings and popups. It just works along and only informs you if there are issues that need your input. Also uses fewer resources making it good for older computers or those with less memory.

  Strengths: Easy installation; Frequent(every 3 hours) and fast downloads of virus updates; Good balance between keeping computer secure and too many warning messages; Great price!

  Weaknesses:Some features offered in 2007 edition now only available in the Pro upgrade version for 2008--but not a deal breaker.

  Overall Evaluation: I've used Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 for more than a year and installed version 2008 last week. A very easy install process--it installs itself flawlessly, including removing the old program by itself. I moved to this product from Norton AV to try to save computer resources, and I think Trend Micro Internet Security does a good job without excessive memory and processor use. My computer has Vista-3GB memory and laptop has XP-750MB RAM.The user interface is easy to use with sliders to control some settings and check boxes for others. I recommend using the default settings Trend Micro gives until you have time to decide how well the program is working for you. Since installing the 2008 program, it has found 2 trojen virus in files that have been on my computer a long time. Maybe it was a false hit, but I removed the files anyway.I did a lot of homework on anti virus programs before I decided on this one. I think it's a crap-shoot to find a program that runs great, protects you, and doesn't cost too much. Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 works for me. Good luck to you.

The Trend Micro security suite combines a good feature set and solid malware disinfection, but those benefits are offset by below-average detection as well as interface and installation bugs.
