Being a tech who works security I deal with a lot of products. There are a small number of products which are worth buying, but this is one of them. Installation is simple, if you follow the CLEAR instructions. I believe the people who had problems installing the product probably have trouble with everything and nothing can be done about user problems.
The product is not as intrusive as some of the other well known brands that hose up your computer. I run this product on many computers and my higher end gaming computer runs it great with games that have high graphic demands. It also does well on the lower end machines I have.
This is not the only good product out there, but it is hard to beat.

I purchased this security program for my PC. The program was paranoid, slowed down my computer and kept sending me URL's that were linked to my computer and offering to block them for me while I was on the office network. There was no way of disabling this function, and when I'd be working on word documents, not even logged onto internet, program would freeze while warnings came up. It was most frustrating. To top it off, 2 weeks after installing the softwear, the PC ceased to work, and I ended up having to wipe the hard drive as it appeared that there were corrupt files. I'm not entirely sure if Trend Micro program was responsible/not however when the PC was set up again I switched to McAfee, and have had no problems since. Draw your own conclusions.

Whatever you do DO NOT ROLLBACK CHANGES IN THE "Prevent Unauthorized Changes" Window. I now have Blue Screen of Death, my OS must be reinstall losing ALL DATA!!!! here what I wrote TrendMicro...
i have installED your software on my desktop. the machine is virus free prior to the install. As I was rolling back some of your setting in the Changes Found dialog your software (in the background) preformed an update. I NOW AM UNABLE TO REBOOT MY PC. I GET A BLUE SCREEN. I have your software still installed on my laptop. I'M DISSAPOINTED YOU WILL HAVE A FEATURE TO ROLL BACK SOFTWARE CHANGES THE OS IMPLEMENTS AND DEEM MY PC USELESS.
If you can tell me how to fix without out loss of data that will be great. Your product works well, even too well freezing my machine from time to time. I should have stuck with just your free online scan
I SUGGEST YOU REMOVE OR DISABLED THE "PREVENT UNAUTHORIZATED CHANGES" FEATURE IN YOUR SOFTWARE
Rating: - Good program just a couple of minor gripes.
I'm not sure why Trend Micro gets so many bad reviews, it is by far the best security program I've had on my computer. I had Norton 360 and then Mcafee before this and here's what they showed after a scan-
360 said I had no security issues on the computer.
Mcafee(total protection) said I had 6.
I tried Trend Micro and low and behold-67! All spyware.
How could the other two not pick these up?? I immediately switched to pro and will not go to another program.
Pros-easy to install and pretty quick about doing it. 2. As mentioned before picks up things the others aren't. 3. Doesn't bombard you with constant messages(pop-ups and such)
Cons-a little slow at scanning, although that's a minor nuisance considering what it picks up. And the other would be seems that every other update it has to revert back because it says "problem with latest update" but at least it doesn't interfere with operating your computer.
All and all a good product, much better than the other 2 I tried!
Rating: - Installation problems - upgrading from 2007 was impossible
I would give it three stars for overall performance. One star is removed for the installation hassles. The bullet points:
BAD
* Slows down the system considerably;
* The interface is not very intuitive;
* On opening, it had a false positive (flagged perfectly innocent software WGA Removal as a Trojan). Curiously, the 2007 version had no such a problem (it scanned the system a few hours earlier);
* It started working unscheduled during a PowerPoint presentation (with no Internet connection).
GOOD
* Fewer crashes than McAfee and other security software (2007 version);
* Pretty comprehensive;
* Found four spyware bits that the 2007 didn't;
* Can be installed on three machines.
INSTALLATION:
* I tried to upgrade the 2007 version with this one (i.e., bought on a disc at Amazon). What happened: after the installation, I was asked to provide my email address used for purchasing the OLD version (?!) - since I am using dynamic addresses for internet purchases, it took me a long while to find it.
* After the installation, it turned out that there is no way to input the new serial number - no such option! The only solution was to uninstall it, and then install again;
* Many modules such as the System Tuner had to be updated. All those updates took a while since they had to be initialized manually. There were a few restarts involved and inconsistent requests from different modules.
BOTTOM LINE: If you have the 2007 or older version, first uninstall it and then install the new one. Do not try to uninstall the old version with the help of the 2008 one. It seems that the company tries to force you into buying the more expensive download version not by making it a less expensive option but by creating hassles with non-download upgrades.
CHICAGO (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama named former rival Hillary Clinton as secretary of state on Monday and said Robert Gates would remain defense secretary in a national security team charged with recasting America's leadership role in the world.
"[D]uring its time of evaluation, Honeycrisp, being a beautiful but partially-colored apple, effectively waited in the wings until the big stage was set. I'm not saying the University would not have introduced Honeycrisp against the tide of Red and Golden. I don't know that. It just takes years to get to the point of taking the leap, and maybe 1991 would have been the leaping point regardless of the current. But there's no doubt Honeycrisp jumped into a very favorable current, one that had been started with Granny Smith and had gained irreversible momentum with Gala and Fuji. Its time had come.
But even when your time has come, if you're an apple, it'll still be a while. There are millions of Honeycrisp trees in the ground right now, but a production ranking is nowhere in sight. Like Gala, Honeycrisp will take a few more years before it climbs out of the "All Others" category.
So, if you're David Bedford, and you evaluated a variety for many years until 1991 and then released it, and it's been out now for well over a decade and it's still in "All Others," you've done a wonderful job. That's just the speed of this game. Honeycrisp is on a meteoric rise. This is a thing that's happening very fast, in apple terms."
