What our customer's say!

"Slows the computer a lot", The computer runs considerably slower with the software installed but I guess that is what you have to put up with to have security.

"really wanted to like it", I used this Program for the last year and have had many quarrels with it

mainly:

it missed a ton of spyware and a couple of trojans on my computer. even though i religiously update the virus definitions

significantly slowed down my computer.

and what really made me angry is that when i deleted the program it would not fully delete and took me 3 hours to remove the entire program. which involved searching for individual files and deleteing them manually.

i switched to avg free edition which has worked admirably.


"Memory hog, confusing user interface, awful tech support", This product consumes 150MB of RAM, which seems excessive.

The user interface is confusing. Dialogs are popped up for various operations at random times and cannot be shut off.

Tech support is by email. It takes two days to get a response, which is invariably unresponsive, completely different than the previous response, and appears to be written by a moron. After three months I have yet to get a sensible response to my question about how to reduce memory footprint.

In the 2007 version, they also changed how the 3-user license works. Previously, each license lasted one year from the date it was installed. Now all three licenses expire one year after the first of the three is installed!

"2007 version A huge disappointment.", I have been using Trend Micro for years but the
2007 version A huge disappointment.
Great Security comes At a big cost to loss of System function.
It is a complete HOG of resources and taxes your computer to it's very limits. Slows everything to a snails pace. Earlier versions were excellent, but this new one is utterly ridiculous.
CAN NO Longer recommend this product. My internet connection would disconnect every 2 minutes or so.
Actually have had to have my computer reformatted twice since installing in July. My repair service installed AVG free, and there is such a difference. I will be switching permanently. AND YES, their support has also gone down the toilet with the software.
Do NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT !!!!!!!!!

"TM Pc-Cillin 2007 Blows", I have a number of machines that I manage with this product installed. They worked great on previous version of PC-Cillin until I installed pc-cillin Internet Security 2007, then every thing RAN SLOW... It also gobbles up huge amounts of RAM. I have 1GB RAM and all of my systems become progressively slower as the day goes on. After one day of being powered on the computer is useless as it is too slow and idles with ~600MB RAM used when not doing anything. This 2007 program seems to have become some kind of virus itself... DO NOT BUY!
I will start moving my machines over to something else.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Junk Software", I used the 2006 version and found no problems with it. I have purchased the 2007 version and now I have no PCU speed. I have tried everything on their support site to no avail. I was getting flashbacks to the past NORTON products, when I clicked my mouse and the cursor would continue turning, with no computer response. Once I removed this JUNK SOFTWARE, my computer "magically" returned to normal. My days of using Trend Micro are over.

Also, if you are running a home network, be aware that the enclosed firewall does not automatically setup for you network printserver. My second printer would not respond, and I received a print server error. All the past firewalls I used had no problems (zone alarm, kaspersky, norton, CA, etc.), but this one would not work, even with support help. I did notice with this one, that I had to reinstall all the software for the home network and print servers, for all my printers, after I uninstalled PC-Cillin 2007.

Good Grief !!

"some problems but OK so far", After being a long time Mcafee user, I switched because of price to PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007 - 3 User last month. I have had some occasional problems with PcScnSrv.exe, but after rebooting performance seems normal and other than that no problems. The product seems to update itself without too many reboots.The security pop up warnings sometimes seem unnecessary but I haven't tried refining the settings yet. I haven't had any virus problems yet, though I had no virus problems with mcafee either. I have not tried any of the other security features (or changed any settings) that was set up at installation but prefer not to change anything until problems arise.

"Avoid 2007, Stay w/ 2006", I wished I had read all of the reviews before I upgraded to the 2007 version of PC -Cillin. I pretty much had the same problems as everyone else. The memory maxed out when '07 was running in the background and my IE and Outlook Express would not function with the upgrade. I uninstalled '07 and reinstalled '06 and still had problems. IE and Outlook Express would still not run even with '06 reinstalled. I spent over a week on the phone w/ tech support (over 12 hours) and they could still not solve the problem. The only way my system would function properly was to totally uninstall PC-Cillin. My last ditch effort was to restore (I'm running XP Home) my system to a date before I did the '07 upgrade and then reinstall '06. This seemed to have corrected my issues for the time being. The '07 upgrade was a nightmare for my pc and hopefully I have my system straightened out now. Never again will I upgrade or install another software program w/o researching the reviews first.

"PC-Cillin may kill your machine", My 3 year old emachine (2.8 gh, 1.5 gb memorty) running Windows XP was brought to a halt after I installed PC Cillin. Not only did it take over the screen (can you say unwanted pop up) every morning when the daily update occurred, but then it ran some kind of "background?" check using 100% of available CPU time. After this "takeover" started, attempts to load programs, Close PC Cillin, etc. were useless. This lasted for up to 1 hour after each download, and occasionally, the machine totally locked up and could only be accessed with a complete reboot. I was 1st told by tech support that I had a bad download. The "new" download did not fix the problem. I was then told that I probably had a program on my machine which needed to be removed completely before PC Cillin would work. I should start with any programs which monitored internet access, pop ups, viruses, etc. In other words, strip my machine of all protection I had built up over the past 3 years so a program which was not working might work. I politely told PC Cillin that this was not an acceptable solution. Now I have been denied any refund since the 30 day window refund window has passed (amazing how tech support works just slow enough to let 30 days pass). This was despite their technical support recommending a refund. I suggest you Google PC Cillin and read other similar reviews before you consider this product. I wish I had. I now have a security suite which truly functions in the background the way it should.

"PC-Cillin 2007 will slow down your PC/Laptop to a crawl! ", Absolutely kills my PC's and laptops (typically a 2.2Ghz CPU with 2GB of RAM) with a process named PcScnSrv.exe alone using over 85% of CPU continually, and 120 MB+ memory, just for this process. Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2007 is terrible. I've used PC-Cillin since version 2003, and until this version it has been a good product. Even 2006 was fine. 2007 is a bomb, so do not purchase it or upgrade it. Just delete your registry keys for Trend and reinstall your 2006 version, and you will be better off, until Trend Micro fixes this disastrous problem. I've been working with technical support every day (the "Customer Escalation Team") since 04/05/2007, with no end in sight so far, and it is now 06/04/2007!
