  Version: Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008

  "Very Pleased"

  by R Hayward on December 21, 2007

  Pros: Can't say I have had any dramas and its been a week since I installed this product. I already have a firewall ( Comodo ) so I chose this for my antivirus and primary spyware protection.

  Had to contact Tech Support when I run into a problem with scanning and within 24 hours I recieved a reply with a step by step set of instructions which resolved the problem. Tech Support even sent me an email asking if my problem was now resolved which I thought was impressive.

  The protection seems to be great as I have run some real time spyware tests and it has caught everything. The program works well with Spyware Blaster without any conflicts noted.

  All up I have to say that the product is an improvement from when I tried the product a few years ago. Back then, the interface was basic and the program just wasn't impressive in my eyes.

  Now however I have to say that I rather like it and I like the fact it tells you exactly what cookies and spyware has been treated. Its also posssible to customize the program to your liking.

  Cons: Would be nice if it would recognize Popcap's games as not being bad as I have had to turn off " Prevent unauthorized changes" while playing some games.

  This is not a big drama however as you can always re-enable it when you stop playing and there may actually be a way to tell the product that it is not a bad program. I'm yet to explore all the options.

  The first couple of updates take awhile to download on dialup but this is normal for just about any security product.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!
