 Good solid anti-virus program., 2008-05-25
I purchased this about a year ago. I'm confident that it works well and I havn't noticed any sort of draining of resources, but then again I run the scan when no one is using the computer. Never had it crash and updating is simple as can be. It detects most spyware but not all of it. No big deal, I have Spybot S&D and Ad-aware as backups. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because for some reason I get a message saying it can't connect to the internet even thought I can still update with it.
My subscription is almost up, so I'll see how 2008 works out
System: Vista Home premium, 1.8ghz Duo Core, 3.5g of ram, 8600GT
 Support is ABYSMAL, 2008-01-18
I received this program for free, fortunately. I'm a more sophisticated computer user than some, but certainly not unusually so. I was having trouble finding info about setting up PC-cillin to allow me to connect to my office VPN, so I searched their knowledge base -- no info. I contacted support. It took them 2 days to get back to me. Meanwhile, I figured out how to set up my VPN on my own. Imagine my surprise, then, when the tech support person emailed me and informed me that PC-cillin is not compatible with VPNs and gave me instructions to uninstall the firewall! I can't find any information on printing through a wireless networked printer, either -- surely this isn't an unusual setup, but a search of the knowledge base has turned up nothing. If I can't get the printer to work, I will be going back to the free versions of Zone Alarm and AVG.
2006 PC Cillin worked great, 2007 is a disaster, 2007-10-02
Our company as well as myself used PC Cillin in 2006 and renewed it in 2007. The 2006 version did not slow our systems down like the 2007 version does. I have also experienced problems with the 2007 software that never surfaced on 2006. It took some time to figure out but all of our e-mail programs stopped working and didn't start again until I quite PC Cillin. Everytime I rebooted the computer our e-mail would not work until PC Cillin was quit. The problems of the software became so great that I had to uninstalled it today, many months before our subscription runs out.
We have had the 2007 version since February(?) but many of the problems did not start to surface until lately. It makes me believe that there are problems with their updates.
I would consider other anti virus software before this one.
 Rarely notice it's there at all--In a good way!, 2007-09-28
Perhaps AntiVirus software should be rated like seatbelts. I really don't want to notice it all the time, all I want to do is NOT get viruses.
By that measure, Trend Micro Antivirus is wonderful. I don't get viruses and it's less invasive than what I've seen of the competition.
I do a weekly scan that slows things down a little, but I'm actually running it now and I'm not going over 50% cpu usuage. So I run it at lunch time while I'm either away or surfing the web and it's not noticeable.
 okay not great, would not buy again, 2007-09-24
software easy to use, but customer support stinks. it always states i need to update software, but never allows me to connect to their server to get the updates. would try another product
