trend has been driving hard lately in the commercial partnering space...their network based antivirus is embedded in several IPS/Anti-X appliances from some of the major network players.

So now we have Peter Norton crying about PC-cillin and Bill Gates crying over Linux and Google.

90 days is not worth it.
I still use AVG free on my computers and get updates every 2 or 3 days. Plus on other machines I spected has having viri- Symantec missed it, uninstalled and installed AVG and found the infection.

Most people continue with whatever trial software they get.
That being the case, I'm all for TrendMicro. |

Yup, if it came with PC-cillin I'd have stuck with it... however, McCrappee is so awful I uninstalled it first thing I did and got AVG. I didn't have the choice of nothing

I love it when people avoid paying $40 or so to have good protection, then pay me up to $200 to clean their machine.
