I Love this utility software! It is easy to use and does not use all your system resources.
Installation on non Vista systems is however a challenge. On the plus side I found the support to be very good.

TM used to work, doesn't now.
So disapopinted. After starting with TM back in 2006, where it worked well, upgrading to 2007 which worked fine too - basically since already having paid for 2008 I simply can't upgrade on any of the 3 machines.
Unfortunately, tech support was no help. They tried, bless 'em, but couldn't.
First problem was some message that I have Norton or McAfee installed (I forget which). I don't. Still, tried their removal tool - didn't work of course, because I don't have either installed.
Anyway having left this for a few months out of sheer frustration, tried again to upgrade. This time, the infamous "Unable to update your protection. Make sure your internet connection works before trying again." Well guess what, it works, which is how I get to write this.
Unfortunately I need to go through the painful search for a new anti-virus software that's as light as TM used to be, plus deal with the lag which will no doubt be left behind with yet another software removal on a windows machine. The whole experience has... I hate to say it.. made me think of installing a Linux distribution on some of my office machines to circumvent any problems like these.

Worked as expected
Bought the product due to review from Consumer Report. Easy to Install. Work as expected. Had to uninstall Norton, unable to remove the status window which is a pain... thumbs down on Norton!

Trend Micro Internet Security - 2008
I purchased two copies as I had to secure 4 computers which were running the 2007 version; I did not have any problems installing the program in either XP or Vista systems, but I would suggest manually removing any old versions of Firewalls, etc. before installing the new software. It is not necessary to do this, but manual removal of the old makes the new install much faster. The 2008 version seems to run faster than the 2007 version and the virus scan found extra stuff that was missed by the 2007 program.

garbage in garbage out
This was my first time using trend micro. I had used Norton and zone alarm in the past. Well I loaded this onto my laptop which runs xp and I immediately had problems with I.E constantly crashing and slow load ups. It seemed that trend could almost never find itself. I also experienced long times to run a virus scan a little over 3 hours for a 40 gig hard drive. I contacted trend and they sugguested I take off the version I loaded and try the latest build. I did that, still major problems, they said try changing the internet connection from wireless to networked. I did that I.E only crashed 2 out of 4 times now! It was still very slow. I could make breakfast before I could log onto the internet. Trend then told me I didnt have enough memory (I have almost a gig on this laptop) so I decided to yank it off the machine, that took a while too because when I tried to remove it it kept trying to update itself causing it not to be able to be removed. Finaly I was able to remove it and get it off my laptop, what a difference! I think I will now try NOD 32. I didnt mind zone alarm except it constantly went into scan mode, the good thing I liked about zone alarm was the firewall-trends is not that great, zone would tell you when programs are trying to get out and what they are-trend just blocks them period. It blocked a blue tooth device I was using so I couldnt download pictures from a cell phone. I had to reinstall the blue tooth and re-pair in order to get it to work again. like I said garbage in (when I installed trend) and Garbage out (when I took it off) The one star is only becuase customer service did respond to my questions.
