I trust Trend Micro but is that site for real? It's almost to good to be true & I have never seen this AV software free unless there was a rebate involved. Hmmm, anyone?

website is legit, offered by South Carolina Coast.net, community/news website from the Myrtle Beach area. You can just go to sccoast.net to check out where it's originating.
i support desktops using TrendMicro and I don't trust it. One time I identified a machine as infected, ran full scan and TM found nothing...I renamed the file extension of the file I suspected to be a virus and rebooted. when the system came up TM detected the virus that I had already renamed.
Not to thread crap, just a FWIW if you are not running the latest hardware with 2 Gigs RAM..
We switched from Norton (BLEHGHGGT!!!) to Trend Micro on our 10 PCs. Well, we had to install more ram, as each of them slowed down significantly with Trend Micro installed. We are switching to AVG this year.
You can get it at Best Buy also for $3.99 if you find someone behind the customer service desk that doesnt know what they're doing. The $3.99 price is only for Geek Squad serviced customers, but if you catch the store at a busy time, go to customer service that has a register open (and close to the Geek Squad tech bench). Tell them you want a copy of Trend and point at the rack with a bunch of software in sleeves (not boxes) and start pulling cash or credit cards out so they dont question anything. It'll ring up for $3.99 without needing a Geek Squad service also purchased, unlike the Norton 360 and McAfee software also available on the same rack.

Not a fan of Trend Micro - as bad as Norton in my book for sucking up system resources - BUT a great find. Good for parents/grand parents PC's. Just be aware that at the end of the year license that the pop ups and warnings will be non stop.
