This let a virus in, 2008-08-30 beware this software let a virus in, and yes I updated every day. I changed to windows one. If you got an old computer and want a modern solution -, 2007-12-28 If you computer is old and you want an all in one AV suite you got two choices. Trend Micro PCcillin or Kaspersky's Internet Security 7. I have tried everything on the market but McAfee and my customers have had problems with that one! I've tried Kaspersky's and it seemed effective but the popups will kill you if your not an experienced user, and it is super expensive also. No thanks - I'll take this old reliable to anything on the market. Some of the features seem flakey or ineffective and I will tip my hat to that; but bottom line is I have tested this in a combat field environment and have not had a major infection yet. Before installing ANY antivirus product make SURE the previous one is FULLY uninstalled. This in itself will be a chore if you have Norton, because you will have to run their uninstallation cleanup even after you get rid of it and you still won't get it all. Next be sure and do a Trend Micro "Housecall" online scan to make sure you clean all the baddies Norton and the other junk left behind. I do not recommend using this instead of installing AV ware because the new bugs out there are getting more NOT less sophisticated. Trend's IS 2006 is the minumum you will get away with for a while until it is discontiued and that is the subject of a whole other discussion.. You might get away with using Avast or AVG but you wouldn't have the cool features that IS 2006 comes with! If you don't trust Trend's firewall don't install it with the suite - they give you the option to do this but you will not be able to use the anti-phishing feature that it gives to Internet Explorer 6. If you are using IE 7 you probabley won't need it but the bad website blocking will still work without the firewall installed. DO NOT try to blow past this good feature as this is what makes up for having older AV software! Bad web site blocking will keep you from picking up the worst malware that can takeover a computer using every exploit known to man. Be sure to go to their /download/engine.asp page to get the latest scan engine and update to the newest version of IS 2006. This page is hard to find so use Trend's chat service to get the information if you can't find it(have your license key ready). DO NOT upgrade to 2007 unless you have 2Gb of RAM. All new AV suites hog huge RAM processing space.. Last but not least don't rely on one suite fits all to completely protect your computer this solution is the minimum. Some people swear by Spyware Doctor another RAM hog or Spysweeper another RAM hog. But Spybot Search and Destroy gets along famously with IS 2006 and will get you buy until you can afford a new computer with HUGE RAM! There are many good utilities you can add to this to enhance your security but DO NOT use two firewalls together and two antiviruses together, THIS DOES NOT WORK. Anyone you tells you different doesn't have enough experience to know any better. I wish there was enough space and time to give folks who have older computers more advice but I would probablly get kicked off Amazon for boring you with the details. Happy SAFE computing! P.S. To tell you the truth I am using this suite only because of the privacy data protection. As soon as Agnitum gets their firewall version of this perfected I will switch to them. At that time I might go with free Avast or Avira for an AV suite. 5 of 5 customers found the following review helpful: Trend Micro 2006 Fan, 2007-05-22 I've been using Trend Micro products (as I mentioned on a previous review of TM antivirus products) on all our computers for 4 years, so naturally I ordered the 3-Pack of the 2007 version when it became available. Big mistake. It's got so many watchdog features that your computer is popping up warning messages everytime you visit a website. My main gripe is that it slows down my Gmail account so much that completing an email without a freeze-up for 45-90 seconds is virtually impossible. Now the good news. The 2006 and prior versions of Trend Micro have been wonderful- simple to use and effective. As I said, they've kept a bunch of computers virus-free for years, unlike some of the other Big Boys in the internet security business, which we used previously. Our computers are online much of the time, and in spite of high internet usage, they have been virus-free. The software is easy to use, and it's got all the needed bells & whistles, offering effectless protection, without slowing down your computer. I highly recommend the 2006 version, which is available here on Amazon and at other online retailers. 1 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Terrible, 2007-03-11 Terrible product, confusing, not easy to use like McAfee. Not meant for a basic computer user. 1 of 3 customers found the following review helpful: Product may be good, but.................., 2007-01-30 Buyer beware. If you encounter a technical issue with this product and require a refund, you're out of luck. They will send you in endless circles attempting to get a product refund. There are many other good products out there that do the same thing. It's really easy to purchase, but impossible to get a refund!
