    Is Trend Micro Pc-Cillin a Good Av?

    I saw somewhere in this forum a screenshot of Hotmail`s Pc-Cillin scanner missing a malware and NOD32 found it, I think was Blackspear who has posted this screenshot...can someone show me it again?

    Thanks.

    PCC has missed numerous malware during the time I used it. I do not recommend it.

    You will find better options than PC-Cillian, like NOD32, KAV, McAfee... ;)

    Trend is gaining market share among corportate customers. A large research institution where I do volunteer work recently switched to it from McAfee. It has very few false alarms in tests, and less machine slow down than Symantec and McAfee. Detection rates are relatively low compared to the competition and not up to snuff for high risk surfers.

    Trend does have some comprehensive enterprise products, but manageability and ease of deployment are the keys to success in that market. Corporate firewalls and restrictive network policies can help to balance mediocre detection rates.
    As far as PCCillin, it'll never touch my PC's. There's free software I'd trust to do a better job.

    I found 4 trojans on my PC which McAfee detected and Trend did NOT. I sent them to Trend, and they didnt reply. In that period, my license expired, and I purchased eScan. Two months later, I was sent some emails saying that two of those 4 trojans have been added to their database.

    I still do not know what happened of the other two.

    Isn't that so nice of them? Other Trend Micro customers, I'm sure, wouldn't mind having those trojans on their systems for a couple months. What's the big deal?

    Two months. And in my case, it took three months. Yeah, maddawgz, "to each his own". And I choose customer responsiveness.

    I don't use KAV anymore, but when I did, my submissions usually got a response within minutes or hours. And I don't want to hear that it has something to do with the size of the customer base--if you can't handle the workload, hire more people.

    Actually, no. I hate to sound like I'm vomiting forth something I read elsewhere, but it's true: Your level of security is only revealed when it fails. Not being infected doesn't mean that you're "OK". Sorry.

    Well, I agree with nameless. I only had two samples to give to Kaspersky labs, but I got a response within 10 minutes.

    I presume the samples were added in the next hourly update, because my eScan did not have hourly updates at that time.

    But the next day, I scanned those files again and saw that detection had been added :)

    What happened? o_O

    The links not available anymore...o_O

    Well, I too used Norton in the past and found Trojans when PCC scanned my PC. But the matter of fact is, this is not 2003 anymore. 2004 onwards, Norton has made huge strides in malware detection.
