Trend Antivirus Software
If you are considering purchasing the Trend Antivirus software it is a good idea to get yourself acquainted with some reviews. Here is an overview of Trend Micro Antivirus plus Antispyware. We'll cover the main features of the software and how it can help you with protecting your PC.
Features
The product has a comprehensive sounding list of features. It protects against viruses, trojans, worms and also spyware. The latest thing seems to be spyware protection as there has been a lot of news coverage about identity theft recently. You can obtain antispyware products separately but some of the big manufacturers like Norton, McAffe and now Trend have gone down the route of bundling them in the one product.
Trend Antivirus will scan your email and also any downloads that you make. Thankfully the product now includes protection for Instant messenger and AOL Messenger.
At present there is no personal firewall, which differentiates the product from some of its rivals such as Norton Internet Security suite
Ease of use
The user interface is quite easy to navigate and most users will be able to get around quite easily. The start up notes are not particularly comprehensive and there is no user manual included.
Resources required
Trend Antivirus requires 100MB of free space and 256MB of RAM. This is a fair amount compared to some antivirus software with a much smaller footprint. One of the common complaints from users is that the software causes their whole system to run slow. One compared it to 'trying to push an elephant upstairs'.
Conclusion
Overall this is a solid piece of software from a company that has a long history in the field of computer security. The main point holding it back from being great is the fact that it does take up system resources. This is a problem not unique to Trend Antivirus. Once it is possible to sort this issue out, it will be a great program.
