I do like TrendMicro's effectiveness and I used it for around 4 years. It's still very good and BBJ it right it's nearly as effective as Norton but not quite. The problem with Trend is it's memory footprint although with today's machines it's a mute point for the most part. I recently switched to Webroot, but I would have no issue using either both are very effective anti-virus solutions IMO. Trend does not include a firewall (total protection) but that's a mute point windows software firewall is very good in my opinion if configured correctly, and adding to that most computer savvy folks also use a NAT enabled router and also have that locked down. Alternatively you can simply run Windows 10 build in defender and alternate online scanning on a few sites (housecall-norton) to augment it and that solution works fine for a lot of folks.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I remember trying TrendMicro waaay back in the day, lol.
I see that Webroot is pretty popular on this forum. But I can't find any test results from the major lab websites. I know there's more sites out there but here's just 3 of them. I'd really be interested in hearing other members experiences with it.
