    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Scanning efficiency and quickly

    Weaknesses: no

    Overall Evaluation: Trend Micro does not have the reputation like Norton and McAfee, but it is a better choice compared with Norton and McAfee. First, it took less time in virus scanning. Second, it costs less than comparable Norton and McAfee products. Third, it provide almost comparable functions in protection and securing your machine.

    Strengths: Resource Efficiency.

    Weaknesses: Didn't see to much from last version.

    Overall Evaluation: This anti-virus software is really resource efficiency compared with comparable anti-virus softwares, such as those from CA, Norton and McAfee. It can scan the disk much faster than those mentioned but occupies less resources. Comparing with the 2007 version, I didn't see too much improvement from 2008 version.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: easy to install

    Weaknesses: doesn't seem as fast as kasperskynot as completedoesn't do as well

    Overall Evaluation: Works ok for XP. Doesn't work for 64 bit XP, though (it does work for Vista64). Also doesn't seem to be as complete as kaspersky or norton. Doesn't have plugin for the-bat like kaspersky. For free after rebate this is not bad, but I'd probably go with Kaspersky or norton instead otherwise.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Gets the job done. Very easy to setup, very easy to configure.

    Weaknesses: None so far.

    Overall Evaluation: The interface is very easy to use. The menu structure is very clean and well organized, but you can fine-tune the settings. Scanning is very fast, although it uses a lot of the CPU. You can do simple things like browse the internet or work on a document while the scan is going on, though.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Uses less memory

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: I keep reading about people having trouble with this product, and I have never had any issues. I run with two computers, and I have two other family members running as well with no issues. For those that are still under license for previous versions, Trend Micro allows you to update to the latest version free of charge.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: fast, runs in background, automatically updates without interruption

    Weaknesses: None to date

    Overall Evaluation: The is the second time I have purchased this product. i owned the 2007 version and prefer this to the Norton Internet security 2007 and 2008 product as it is much simpler to use and gets the job done whithout any problems. I have used this product online on prior occasions and it was recommended by some of the pc magazine I read regularly. A great improvement over suites in that past.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 3-user edition by default; unobtrusive

    Weaknesses: Overpriced

    Overall Evaluation: Trend Micro is making strides to becoming more and more widespread in use. Ditching the dated "PC-Cillin" moniker was a start (although it is mentioned on the box). They are honing a product that stays out of your way. What I mean is that it isn't plagued by the incessant popups and messages that characterize other companies' offerings.The price point is a bit high in my opinion considering that Trend Micro hasn't quite made a name for themselves yet. The fact that the program includes a 3-user license makes the price sound a little more reasonable, but it is still more expensive than Kaspersky, which is leaps and bounds ahead in my opinion.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: - comprehensive coverage

    Weaknesses: - None that I found

    Overall Evaluation: I have used PC-cillin for about a month now and I liked it. There wasn't a terrible difference in speed when I installed it, and my computer is virus-free. I would probably buy this again.

    Duration of ownership:1

    Strengths: Installs smoothly. Appears to be scanning and detecting issues.

    Weaknesses: none so far

    Overall Evaluation: Needed an antivirus software because CA antivirus expired. This was an excellent price once the rebate was included. Very happy with my purchase. Has added bonus of checking what computers are gaining access to your "wireless" network. Funny thing was that it identified the wired computers. No problem. At least I can see them :-)

    Strengths: Good complete security for your computer.

    Weaknesses: Nothing so far.

    Overall Evaluation: I am very happy with this product. It installed well and I have had no problems. It scans pretty fast and has some nice features like deleting IM chat logs. It is simple to use and seems to do a good job in protecting my computer. I didn't notice it using too much system resources either.
