An example is Trend Micro offering 6 months of free trial to SanDisks users but unfortunately there are two restrictions.įirstly the 6 months trial installs an older version of Antivirus+ 7.0 released in 2013 and attempting to upgrade to the latest version 10 will instantly revert the trial back to 30 days. If 30 days is not long enough for you to evaluate an antivirus software, there are normally OEM versions that offer longer trial periods.

If you’d like to test the latest version of Trend Micro yourself, you can download and activate a 30 day trial for free from their official website. The numbers above are for the previous versions of Trend Micro. As you can see from the screenshot below, Trend Micro has the lowest score for Antivirus, Internet Security and Total Security. Fortunately you can find Trend Micro’s performance benchmarks from PassMark reports which actually reveals quite disappointing results for the previous version of Trend Micro.

Other than expecting an antivirus to effectively protecting a computer from malicious software and websites, it is also equally important that an antivirus software does not cause the computer to slow down to a crawl. However, Trend Micro has the 2nd most number of false positives that wrongly blocked clean domains or files and that caused the automatic downgrade to the Advanced award level, or else they’d have easily achieved the highest Advanced+ award. Trend Micro seems to do very well in the most recent (July 2015) real world protection test performed by AV-Comparatives by blocking 99.7% of computer threats, taking the third place together with Kaspersky and Avira. As far as we know, Trend Micro started adding the word “Titanium” to their product names when their cloud-based global threat intelligence was integrated into the software and advertised as a fully cloud based antivirus without relying on offline virus patterns. If you haven’t noticed, their product title no longer carries the word “Titanium”. The current 2016 version of Trend Micro Antivirus is at version 10 and it is known as Trend Micro Antivirus+ 10. PC-cillin is now known as Trend Micro and just like any other antivirus company, they too offer several different paid subscription products such as basic antivirus, Internet security with firewall, and maximum/premium security with additional privacy protection, mobile device protection, and even system optimization modules. It was one of the very few pieces of antivirus software available for the Windows computer because back then there weren’t many computer viruses and the available ones weren’t that advanced if compared to the current malware that uses rootkit technology to stay undetected. Any person who has started using a computer since Windows 95 would have at least heard of an antivirus software called PC-cillin.
