 No longer a fan, 2008-03-18
I've been happy with TMIS for several years, but no longer. TMIS 2008 slowed my system conspicuously. The spam filter in TMIS 2008 caused Outlook Express to crash several times a day, and neither tech support nor a clean reinstall cured the problem. I downgraded to TMIS 2007 but couldn't use the 2008 license number. The 2008 upgrade attempt was a timesink, and I'll try a different brand next year.
 Easy for Mom, 2008-03-18
I found this product easy to install and maintain. My 81-year old mother has put up with various rebated security products I have installed on her computer and she likes this one the best. Low maintenance, and seems to provide adequate protection. Besides - viruses have become mundane - basic protection works. Phishing and spearphishing are the wave of the future. Crooks and swindlers are making their money the old-fashioned way - by cheating people.

Uninstalled After 2 Months, 2008-03-15
About three months ago I purchased this product after reading an article (Consumer Reports, I think) giving this very high marks in many of the critical areas of computer protection. What the article did not say is how much this protection slowed email and other computer functions. It was not uncommon to take more than five minutes to boot the machine and receive fewer than one-half dozen messages. After two months I couldn't take it any more and went back to Norton. Never again!

Something you may need to know....., 2008-03-13
I've been using pc-cillin for a number of years now. It works great and is easy to use and understand. The only problem I had this time around was when I went to install it. When you get to the part where you are told to read the agreement and click yes, you need to at least scroll down to the bottom of the agreement before clicking yes. I made the mistake of not doing that and the next page that is supposed to come up where you enter the product number, did not come up. The result was after it installed the expiration date did not change. I had to go back and un-install it and then re-install and then it was fine.

Great multifunction tool, with some real annoyances, 2008-03-13
Hi, I'm no expert on virus protection or firewalls, but I'm a long-time user of Pc-Cillin. I saw so many one-star and five-star reviews of the product, I thought I'd offer some middle ground. First of all, I was very happy with Trend-Micro-I-S 2006. Fast, snappy, functional with frequent non-intrusive updates. I skipped 2007 because of all the horror stories about slowdowns and memory problems. Finally upgraded to 2008 at renewal time. Did have some install problems, but not huge. Biggest complaint, I had carefully a carefully constructed firewall exception list and it just threw it away, leaving me to either greatly lower my firewall security or recreate the list, which I eventually did. I'm now in everyday mode on two computers. Only major annoyances are false positives saying good programs have trojans, with little info as to what to do. I tell it to ignore them.
2008 is certainly more cumbersome then 2006, which was exceptionally light, but I haven't noticed it being too bad - still seems much better to me than Norton or Symantec. I only use Virus Protection, Firewall, & wireless network monitoring, so can't comment on the other features.
Pet peeve with the product is that on my 1600x1200 resolution screen, the firewall logs are in a fixed window with columns that are so squished the online logs are virtually unreadable. Support's solution is to export them and then read in Excel, but this is a real pain when I just want to quickly check to make sure something wrong didn't get caught by the firewall. It's been a problem through several versions, and I can't figure out why they can't improve their windowing to match every other Windows pc software on the planet.
On the business practices front, if you buy the 3-pc version, at least on the old 2006, then renewal subroutines made you think you had to purchase separate new renewals - which I did. I finally ended up calling the company about this and they corrected the problem and gave me free rights to 2011, so I'm relatively content.
