Duration of ownership: 2 Years
Strengths: Great detection rate of malware/spyware and adware. Quick scan time, great pro-active defense, low on Cpu/ram.
Weaknesses:None at all !!
Overall Evaluation: The best Internet security suite, the pro edition is even better packed with features such as folder/vault lock, only security suite which has Wi-Fi feature. I am also using Nod32 & Kaspersky on my other systems - but i prefer trend micro over them both! I had a few days ago downloaded about 500 kegens just to have them tested with Trend micro & kaspersky - while trend micro Zapped 99% of the keygens, kaspersky failed to detect any! I must also add that i had most of the keygens scanned online on 3 different websites to see if Trend micro gave any false positives. I can bet Trend micro is 100% better than any other !!

Strengths: Quick scans, will shut computer down afer scanning if you choose to, does not bog down system, lots of features, easy interface
Weaknesses:Conflicts with a lot of other spyware software (AdAware to name one) and other utilities (System Mechanic). Occasional error messages w/ XP system, some not able to be resolved even with tech support.
Overall Evaluation: This is a very effective security suite. I've had three Trend Micro products in the past five years and all have been very fast and have prevented malware breakouts. Unfortunately, this 2008 "Pro" version is riddled with bugs... I'm a regular customer with their tech support due to various error messages that keep popping up in XP. Also, the software is completely incompatible with some common products such as AdAware and iolo System Mechanic. It would not even install without first uninstalling the others first. In my case, I like to have multiple spyware removal tools since one is bound not to catch all of the baddies.

Strengths: Fairly complete system protection. Somewhat low resource and memory usage.
Weaknesses:None.
Overall Evaluation: Software installation was pretty straight-forward, no problems or conflicts at all. Three User version obviously allows Internet Security to be installed on 3 different pc's. Once runnning, it silently protects you while running in the background. It does not seem to slow my system down at all. Good all-in-one product.

Duration of ownership: 3 Years
Strengths: May be better than symantec
Weaknesses:Deceptive Renewal Process
Overall Evaluation: When your renewal time comes due, you will be signed up automatically to have your product renewed yearly on your charge card. Trend Micro claims on the web site that you can click and opt out. TRY IT, they "have a glitch" and you can't opt out, unless you want to call and wait on hold. This is how much confidence they have in their product selling itself!

Duration of ownership: 2 Months
Strengths: Small footprint compared to other brands. 3-PC license for low price. Easy installation. Works w/ Vista
Weaknesses:None found so far.
Overall Evaluation: As someone that gets annoyed with anti-virus products slowing PCs down, I find that Trend offers the same protection without the slowdown. The 2008 Internet Security package works wonderfully on my new Vista laptop, and doesn't hog system resources. The fact that I can put it on 2 other PCs is nice as well. High-quality product.
