Terrible! Firewall couldn't pass GRC's LeakTest. Interface is awful.

A resource hog even on my high powered systems. I see an obvious slowdown in my desktop with this installed.

I not consider this software virus. I recently had to repair a system that would blue screen on boot due to this software. The removal process was ridiculously complex. If malware simply attacks this product by trying to circumvent or disable it the failure mode isn't simply sneaking past the product but a full-on unbootable system. I think that using UBC4Win or ERD 2005+ or some other method of booting the machine and scanning it offline is the only way to be sure a machine is clean, the windows WIN32 api offers limitless ways for malware to root and hijack a box and this crap where software tries to get between every method of infection and every attack vector is silly.

I'm a little partial to the TM PC-cillin Internet Security Suite...I've been using it for about 2 years and it does everything that I need it to do. Sure, some are faster, some have smaller footprints, but in the end, having everything in one place is not only convenient, it all works as described...and smaller than if you had to separately install an AV, AS, PF, as well as email security, etc. As for the *HUGE* memory leak on PCCSCN.SRV, there's been a fix for that for months - it has to do with SpyBot S&D's immunizations...go into SpyBot, then to Immunize, then click UNDO. Done. It drops the memory usage from a *very* large 100MB+ down to the standard ~6MB that it's supposed to be. - This would be one of my only gripes with the software - better functionality with SpyBot. Another that I don't care for, as mentioned below, is the inability to scan only new and/or changed files since last AV run. One last thing that I would like to see implemented is a clearer and easier interface to block/allow specific programs and ports as well as ability to block ICMP (seems no matter what I do, I cannot completely block ping at all!) Last thing is that I'd like to see a 'Power User' interface available...seems like TM 'dumbs down' the GUI with every release (I'm sure it reduces call-center help line issues, but for those of us that pretty much know what we're doing, it would be nice to have the ability to change all the settings we need without having to deal with the current GUI) All in all, I give it a 4 - good programing, small footprint (considering all that it does vs. installing 6 different softwares to cover all that), excellent antivirus/antispyware control - (-)1 for the above mentioned issues.

I use to use, Trend Mirco Anti-Spyware, till they got bought out a couple years ago. As a matter fact, it was the first AS that i have ever had. Sense they got bought out, Trend Mirco has been going down hill. Sorry guys, your just not on my support list any more. Webroot took your place. Avast On-Access Protection will defeat any virus. Use to be a time when I respected Trend Micro. PC-Cillin bought TM out when they had a bad rep.. Well from the looks of things, that rep. didn't improve much.
