Rating: - A great, innovative option from Trend Micro
The Good:

* Set it and forget it
* Traditional firewall and scanners you expect from a suite and then some
* Innovative features like anti-theft protection, keystroke encryption and wi-fi detector on your browser(tested on IE and Mozilla)
* Provides Mobile security for many PDAs as well

The Bad:

* Anti-Theft protection could've been extended to do much more

The Bottom Line:

A great product from Trend Micro. Once you install it, you forget that its even there. It doesn't bug you for every little thing like other suites tend to do. It provides a powerful protection silently in the background. Of course you may choose to do scans manually. It has firewall, virus scan and a tune-up scan. This is also a great suite for laptops as its easy on the resources and provides Wi-Fi security on the browser's toolbar. It will let you know if the Wi-Fi you are using secure or not, in addition to whether or not the website you are on safe or not. The anti-theft lock feature is a mixed bag but is still a good addition to the suite. In a nutshell, you set up a master password(which if you ever forget, they will email it to you.) You have the option to lock a folder where supposedly you keep all the private data in. If your PC/Laptop gets stolen, nobody will be able to access that folder. All you need to do is go to Trend's website and report your computer stolen. Once your lost computer goes online, that folder will always remain locked, even if they know the password to the vault file. My only gripe is: If its possible to lock one file, why not have the ability to lock the entire computer while you're at it? However, that minor ding will not stop me from recommending this product to others as I hope I never get to use the benefits of anti-theft features.

Rating: - Trend Pro is the Way to Go!
This is a product that I have had the pleasure of using before the Vine Program. The Internet Security Pro was introduced last year in 2008 and I used it then. The difference between the regular and Pro versions of the Trend Micro Security Suite are the additions of some very handy computer management features. These include a System Tuner module that includes a Registry cleanup scanner, Startup Manager, Privacy Manager, a Remote File Lock service that protects important documents remotes by password protected backup, A Trend Micro Toolbar that includes a WiFi detector, keyboard encryption protector to thwart keylogging attempts has also been added. New for 2009 TM also includes a phishing page rating button, A Dashboard to track security threats encountered by the software and a Security Suite protector for your mobile smartphone! The software works smoothly, installation of the 09 version was faster than last year and it self configures. While you can review several options, the important ones are already configured. Use of the extended Pro Features is optional. Trend Micro makes a very solid product that does not bug you with too many pop ups and runs smoothly. The few times last year I needed to contact Customer Service, they were quick and problems were taken care of ASAP. I was pleased to see this in the Vine program. Some things I love about TM Pro include the Startup Manager to stop excess unneeded programs from launching on startup, the scans are deeper and show both time elapsed and percentage of the computer left to be scanned. I had tried Norton 2008 and it did not find as many items and when it did, you still had to manually remove them yourself. TM finds and removes items automatically. Norton also excessively updated itself in same sessions. TM keeps you safe and protected without nagging you. I had purchased their Smartphone security before the new 2009 version came out and am pleased with that as well. It is a nice addition to the Suite. I highly recommend Trend Micro Pro they have made an already good product even better, backed by support that actually listens to your concerns.

Rating: - Four and a half stars
This internet security system is quite impressive. It installed easily and has proven to be most comprehensive. I especially like the network security--it not only protects your computer but also checks for any problems in your wi-fi system.

I originally had Norton and, literally, it crashed my computer. It had to be replaced (the computer, not Norton). When I purchased my new one, the store recommended Trend Anti-Virus which was installed. It was much more limited in its coverage than this version. I'm very pleased and highly recommend this more comprehensive security system.

Rating: - Should cost less, otherwise not bad
I had no problem installing this, and I can't tell that it has slowed down my computer. Slows down web surfing though, and really slows down looking at e-mail. Overall the features all pretty much work as advertised, but I think it's a little expensive.

Rating: - Solid security solution, a little buggy, but very good
I've used my different anti-virus and security applications on many different computers over the years, and I'm reasonably impressed with Trend Micro Internet Security Pro. The application is easy to install, it's easy to adjust the settings to fit your needs, it automatically updates regularly, and it identifies threats that some other applications miss.

I've been running two other security and anti-virus applications on my computer over the last year and neither of those programs identified a Trojan Horse that had been installed on my computer. After I installed Trend Micro Internet Security, it immediately identified the Trojan Horse and quarantined the file to protect my computer. I did a Google search to find out more about the quarantined file (to make sure it was a Trojan Horse and not a safe file that was misidentified) and sure enough it is a known malware/Trojan Horse file that compromised my computer's security.

Thankfully, this application identified it and got rid of it.

Now, here are the minor problems I have with Trend Micro Internet Security: First, even if I set the application to only update at a specific time it will sometimes update immediately after reboot even if it has already updated the security software that day. This is good if you want to make sure your security files/virus definitions are up to date, but it stinks if you don't want the program downloading updates all the time.

Second, depending on the number of start-up applications I have running on my system, Trend Micro Internet Security Pro sometimes generates a strange error message telling me to stay off the internet until my parents have changed the parental controls. I'm a 31-year-old adult who is married and has a kid of his own. I disabled the parental controls (because my 2-year-old isn't using the computer yet) but I still get this strange error message about 50% of the time when I start up my computer. If the parental controls have been disabled (turned off) I should NOT be getting error messages telling me to stay off the internet until my mommy and daddy fix the computer.

Hopefully these two problems are corrected in a future update.

Overall, I still highly recommend this software for people who want to keep their computer's safe. I just hope the update schedule controls and parental control issues are resolved with a future update from Trend Micro.
