User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Frustrating
I have used Norton products for years. With the good reviews I decided to upgrade my expiring products and even purchased a 5 pack to install on the company computers……… big mistake.

The download was filled with fancy screens and instructions that were not consistent with the options offered. Normally this would only be a minor point as the right combination would appear. However, the new one refused to load claiming a thread error.

After multiple attempts I tried the online help. I started as #20 in line and v e r y

slowly progressed to 1# at which point I was connected to a tech who was probably in India and also working on a couple of other customers. He took me through the steps to get him inside my computer but that failed. He then made it possible for me to download the software. However, the installation immediately ate my existing norton (together with all the custom settings) and then wanted to reboot the system which the tech said was essential. The only problem is that after the installation the computer would not shut down normally and I needed to shut it down manually . Of course when it rebooted it had lost all the info about my contact with the tech and my session number was no longer valid.

Thinking that this was ok since I had norton I proceeded to open Norton. However, there is no opportunity to insert my user information , only space to accept another credit charge.

Total loss-about 3 hours and loss of existing security.

Next day - no response to my written request for help.

Survival in today’s market is all about customer service and here it seems to have taken on the character of vaporservice.

5 Stars works like it should
this year’s version installed easier than 2008 and seems to run more efficient on my computers. I installed it on a vista system with a duo core CPU - went great. Then moved on to an XP system with a Pentium 4 - also installed great. Then moved to another XP system with a duo core CPU - no problems. I was happier with how well it installed and is running for 2009 than the 2008.

5 Stars HUGE improvement over Norton Internet Security 2008
I wrote in my review of Norton Internet Security 2008 that I used the product - but despised it. The hit to my system’s resources was just too great, and I turned much of it off as a result.

The 2009 version is MUCH faster - to the point where I am leaving all options enabled. The hit to the system appears to be minimal. The user interface is simpler and less confusing also. Big improvements all around.

Be aware that the engines underlying Internet Security 2009 and Norton 360 are reported to be different, with 360 using the older version (i.e., performance problems).

3 Stars Buyer BEWARE!! All the users are tied together.
Norton Internet Security 2009 5-User

I have used Norton Antivirus for the past number of years and have been fairly satified with the level of protection, even if the customer support left a little to be desired. I decided to step up a bit and purchase Norton Internet Security 2009 because two of my computer’s subscriptions were running out, which in the newer versions leaves you UNPROTECTED!

Since I have 5 computers in the house and they were all coming due at different times, I decided to get the 5-user edition. After installing it on 2 computers and going to my Norton account, I seems that the subscription lasts only one year from the activation date of the FIRST computer subscription. I was very unhappy because two of the other computers still have at least 8-11 months of subscription left on them.

So if you buy a multi-user license, be aware that it looks like it will expire for all the computers at the same time. I would have never purchased this if I would have known that information.

5 Stars Trend Micro is a great Poduct,Try it You’ll like it!
Many products are given a bad review because many people either don’t have their PC’S running in good condition.Too many conflicts or are not set up properly! They are going to have more conflicts when they install a new product.Some Pc’s are out dated and cannot operate the newer products on the Market.So Bad Ratings!When you read a review,read the intelligence of the Person into the review.Don’t listen to those who always find that nothing works.If it makes sense listen to the reviews that make sense.If I listen to every review I wouldn’t buy any Products.Many products I have purchased have had bad reviews,but also some good reviews.Good reviews should be taken seriously.Reviews are good if they know what their talking about!You be the Judge of that.Trend Micro has always worked for me.

3 Stars Happy with product, but…
I have been using Trend Micro Internet Security since 2006 and I have been happy with the product as long as I have not needed to contact the company. My first problem was 2 years ago when the Protect Private Information feature stopped accepting new information after 20 entries. After spending a lot of time trying to debug with their support staff and reinstalling the program twice at their direction, the 4th technician told me the feature was functioning normally. It is limited to 20 entries. The latest aggravation is that I bought Internet Security Pro for a new computer, and I was informed by email that my old subscription for the computer no longer being used would auto renew if I didn’t click a link and opt out. I clicked the link and opted out. I received an acknowledgement of the cancellation from Trend Micro. After that, I was informed repeatedly by email that my subscription would auto renew if I didn’t opt out, and I responded to each that I wanted to cancel. Eventually, they renewed my subscription and charged my card against my wishes. The website directs you to a phone number where a recording directs you to the website. They have support chat on the website which took more than 2 hours to get a reply even though it said that I was the only person in the queue. When I did get a reply on chat, I was given a website address where I could file my claim. I copied the address to an email. When I logged off the chat line, my computer locked up and had to be restarted, so I lost the website address. I have not been able to make further contact and have not received any reply to emails sent through their website. It is ironic that I am paying this company to be protected from this kind of abuse.

3 Stars Decent security suite but requires annual license and pro features are not really great
3.5 Stars

The trend Micro Internety Security Pro is a decent security option when compared to Norton or Mcaffe but honestly the pro features are really not worth the additional money. The only pro feature that seems really worthwhile is the ability to remotely lock your files (in case your computer is ever stolen) but otherwise the Network status and Antivirus reports are more gimicky than true pro tools

*** Positive Points Include: ***

- Easy installation

- 3 user license so you can use it on 3 computers in your home

- Good security without using excess resources

*** Negative Points Include: ***

- Must purchase the virus updates after a year (AVG and others allow free antivirus updates)

- Pro features are not really worthwhile

3 Stars Slows down computer considerably, TMIS 09
I have been using trend micro since 2006, and so it only makes sense I bought TMIS 09 in amazon. Then I read some concerns from reviewers, and so while I waited for it to arrive I tried the trial version. Boy, tmis09 slows down my comp considerably for some reason, like it’s some sort of memory hog. I could tell my comp slows down esp when doing internet browsing (3-5sec slower).

I mean, the other security features works good (safe page indicator, antispam and antivirus), but it all comes down to internet browsing speed for me. Amazon is nice enough to refund the unopened tmis09 plus return s&h. I bought norton internet security 2009 from amazon, and this year version seems works perfectly for me.

Try the trial version before you decide to get trend micro internet security 2009 (look in trend micro website).

5 Stars Trend Micro Internet Security Pro
This is my third up-date for Trend Micro Internet Security Software.

It has handled many attempted attacks on my computers, but I have not suffered any damage or loss of data or capability. I heartily recommend it to other computer users.
