Trend Micro IS 2009

I searched a bit for the answer but didn't see anything. I have a 1 year license for this, and I was wondering if it's any good. Oh and let me ask this, I have a BitDefender total security 2009 2-year license also. Between these two, which one is the best against viruses? Thanks for any help.

 

I think you should try it for yourself and decide . The question you are asking might close this discussion pretty soon as it is not allowed "which is best" here at wilders. but i might be wrong. I would not use either because i had problems with both.

 

Thanks Gery, yeah i might have worded my question wrong, because really what I wanted to ask is has there been any independent tests on which one was the best at stopping malware. I searched the internet and couldn't find a thing on Trend Micro. BD is another story.

 

Between them id put my money on BD

 

Alright, thank you very much.

 

If AV-Test.org is anything to go by, BD is slightly better:

But TM uses a kind-of-cloud computing technology so it may well bridge the gap.

 

The whole in the cloud mumbo jumbo is totally overrated and overhyped imo...

 

Thanks for the answers guys. Slight edge to BD i guess.

 

I thought it was pretty good at its job, to say the most.

 

Honestly guys it is not that terrible although i wouldn't say it is among the best. It is improved with the 2009 version but it is still heavy . It is a good choice but there are better ones

 

In my mind,if that's not any other choice,I will choose BD...
Cause the detection,and,the protection...
