Not enough user control. Nagging warnings when you shut down services. This thing slows down start up, interferes with Internet surfing, stops legitimate programs from starting and is generally a pain to live with. It does seem to be good at protection

I have been using Trend Micro for 2 years and have been happy with the result (actually I am using 2007 on my PCs). I used to use Zone Alarm but I was having trouble installing the full software updates and I had to put the old version on since it seemed to work (I had this trouble on two PCs).

I run some heavy duty software, and change software far more frequently than the average user. Let's address some of the complaints:

TM provides free chat and phone support, which is unusual. However, in my experience none of these products, including Trend Micro, are perfect. You need to supplement them with products like NoScript and SiteAdvisor. You also get conflicts with other software. One thing I didn't like about TM 2008 is that it before installation it made me uninstall auxiliary ... Read More
