Trend Micro 2007

but back in 2005 when i must agree, the software wasnt great.

still it was getting 91% of av comparatives, which was similar to antivir, look where that is now on the tests, isnt it no 1?

i would say 2007 is a massive improvement on 2006, and that was a massive one on 2005 aswell, id love to see how it compares now

 

nope.

i thought i was definatly on for kav +look n stop + antispyware.

then something reminded me of bitdefender 10 and there firewall with a great white list.

so seems back to the drawing board.

 

Re: Best Internet Suites

On both my computers Trend slows down like hell when browsing local folders with large compressed files. Never tried a av that does that.

And with memory usage.. U just cant say that it dosent matter if U got 1 gb ram. Then U really dont know what your talking about- you gotta look with other peoples eyes than your own. Im Studing Architecture and Design, and often uses 3ds Max 8, Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, Autocad 2007 and Indesign CS2 the same time. Belive me- then a resource hungry beast like Trend does affect your system in a negative way.

 

Re: Best Internet Suites

trend 2007 in no way makes the machine slow down, other people have comfirmed this so i think i know what im talking about on this.

about the ram, ive stated in numourous threads, that if your machine can handle the high usage of ram, this suite is the best.

if you think it cant handle it etc etc then just dont run it, no problem with that.

 

Just because AntiVir did well on a comparative does not mean TM will have improved the same, the fact that Trend-micro won't allow others to test it speaks for itself, but with your postings in the last 24 hours i'm probably speaking to deaf ears.

 

Re: Best Internet Suites

And many people confirm the opposit. Just read through all the other threads with Trend.

I tried all the other suites the last months and a suite like etc. the new Antivir performs way faster than both Trend and any of the others.

Its ok by me that it performs very well on your machine with your setup and usage, thats great

But that dosent mean thats it's the best for other people with other setups than you, even though they got the same machine specs than you.

 

Re: Best Internet Suites

well i havnt seen anyone on these trend 2007 threads about it slowing down your machine, and you speak of setups.

what, windows xp sp2 with trend installed, thats my setup basically, pure and simple. no need to run other spyware tools as trend is the best at that.
also no need for monitoring software or net moniter softwares, these are not needed.

i have done fresh installs with kaspersky / bitdefender / fsecure and trend 2007 and trend operates the fastest, fastest boot / performance and no harm to browsing speed, but yet trend uses the most ram, you would think the opposite, but no no.

 

trhe thing is kaspersky have had great detection for ages. bitdefender has great detection also. antivir is improving. trend micro i dono but you can just say it could of improved. if trend micro was that good they wouldnt mind been on av-comparivtives.

 

just because its not on the av comparatives site, you disregard it as being poor, we dont know if it hs improved as much as antivir as, but it has improved ALOT

trend 2006 would pass only a few of the 19 leaktests, whereas 2007 passes more than the others, 17 out of 19.

i understand this is the firewall test, and we already know about the antispyware, so tell me....

how else can i test the antivirus, i dont mind giving it a whirl, just tell me how

 

Agree!

"no need to run other spyware tools as trend is the best at that. "

How can you confirm that?

 

trend is ment to be the best at what?

just because it passes a few more leak tests so what.

kaspersky is always getting great detection rate.

 

it has not

 

i cant confirm it because i posted it ... but im sure others will comfirm it.

 

oh come on. kaspersky have had great detection for ages and will countinue to.
I hope bitdefender which is another one of my fav av's countines to do well.

the reason why i dont really like nod32 atm is because its to highly rated here.

I want to buy an av not join a cult lol

lodore

 

that was about the spyware if you look ......

nothing to do with kaspersky antivirus, where did you get that from?

cos kasperskys anti-spyware and anti-hacker thing are better than trends new firewall and spyware, now who is being un-realistic.

the only argument people who use kaspersky have, is there antivirus, fact!!!!

 

ok. but earlier you was saying stuff about kaspersky av.
kaspersky av is way better than trend micro.

I might try trend micro antispyware thou.

once kaspersky gets its new heristic engine it will be almost unstoppable.

updates everyhour+ proactive defence+ great heristic= kaspersky very soon and great av lol

 

way better than trend 2007 antivirus?

says who?

i just know that when i tried kaspersky, it let me download things of a certain site of which i will not mention, but trend didnt even allow me to download it.

i have no reason at all to believe kaspersky antivirus is sooo much better than the new trend one, everytime ive done a scan with kaspersky, it finds nothing... not even tracking cookies, which i thought every av finds.
i know it gets good percentage on av comparatives, but personally ... i believe how it performs with me, not with a test anyway, as that AVK ruined my machine with such good results on av comparatives.

also hopefully trend 2007 will be added to av comparatives, we can only hope and see i suppose.

 

lets see probaly some of the mods. me. Don defanatly does.



the point is you said you not going to mention the site.

since this is a secueity fourm i will remind you that if you go to those type of sites nothing can complety protect you from em.

maybe you got lucky that one time. thats know reason to not trust kaspersky since it is a fine av.

if it had spyware or other malware it may be a different matter

lodore

 

what i mean is...

how do you know its way better than trend 2007 ?

has kaspersky found something trend has not, has kaspersky deleted something while trend has only quarentined it, where is your proof at all that kaspersky is a wayyy better antivirus?

av comparatives... again, this is where it ends up and its unfair to judge it to 2007 as that isnt even on there.

while this remains the trend pc-cillin 2007 thread, ive noticed they have a decent free online scanner called HouseCall, worth at try to users.

 

Chris
I have read a lot of your posts where you say you have facts about how good you claim Trend 2007 to be, but refuse to share those facts, either because they were deleted or it wouldn't be fair to certain websites, etc., I have also read what everyone else has been saying, I'm not sure why you are so interested in the fact that everyone should try trend? You say You don't work for them? Everyone her knows that Kav is better than Trend, why you would try to say otherwise is beyond me, I have no problem in testing other AV's. presently I am beta testing AntiVir, I like it but I will be going back to KIS 6, I will be trying NOD32 3 suite when it comes out, I'm sure that will be better than Trend also. Another thing is I am not an expert in any security software, but a lot of the people here are so i listen to what they have to say when it comes to security software and what i spend my money on. Another thing you said was why trust AV-Comparatives. The answer is self evident, they do the most in depth testing of the top anti-virus software available with honest un-biased results.

 

i do listen but most the people on here are judging what they havnt even tried ...... based on past programs.

also, after being told kaspersky antivirus is wayyyyy better than trend, i asked how he came to this conclusion, thats all.

it wasnt me who said trend antivirus was better than kasperskys, if you have read my posts as you say you have... i have always said their antivirus is good.

but as a suite... and i state suite for a reason, no way is kasperskys better than trend, lets just say... for argumentative reasons that kasperskys antivirus is better but trends is still good, anti-hacker is poor and if you search the threads and google it etc you will find this is fact, the new trend firewall is amazing and trend also has the venus spy trap antivirus technology which again, if you search the threads and google it etc, is better than any other spyware, and not just suites.

if you agree with that, then trend micro 2007 is the better suite, surely.
also lets put into question the prices of the suites £26 for a 3pc licence or kaspersky at £40 for 1pc licence, then surely .. how is kaspersky a better suite?

once again i will state that i do infact like kaspersky ANTIVIRUS, but dont judge it against the new 2007 trend one, as how are we to compare this?

maybe if you judge the fact that it could be on a par, or pretty close maybe to kaspersky, then again .. regarding as a suite, trend is a clear winner.

im not trying to sell trend, i just would like to open peoples minds a bit to the fact there is a better 'suite' out there.

obviously if people want to use just an antivirus, then kaspersky or bitdefender with a firewall and maybe trend anti-spyware, but as a suite, trend is our clear winner.

again, i know there will be certain people who disagree and also ones who agree, but i think ive made valid points in my post(s) to at least open a few peoples minds, no need for people to get angry with me because i speak of the software in such high spirits, i could say the same to people who talk of kaspersky then, as they do the same... its just more of them to argue with at the moment, understand what i mean?

try the housecall free scanner, i didnt know how this free scanner, but someone who used kis found a trojan and cookies when using the free scanner, google it to see what i mean.

i also am not an expert at security softwares, but i still know what certain software does and doesnt do, and trend does more and is cheaper.

again... im not saying people must change to trend 2007 right now, im just opening peoples minds a little to the possiblity that there is a better suite out there, and am tired of getting my head bit off by kaspersky LOVERS who are like "we are the best, nobody beats us bla bla" ... sounds like sports, with the top team against everyone else, slagging all off who try for the challenge.

either way, i feel ive made some valid points in my posts and hopefully some people will stop and read and ponder it,

 

You keep saying it is the best suite. Actually I trust Kav antivirus without the suite more than I do trends entire suite to protect my computer. I started useing trend back in 2000 so I am aware of it's capabilities and short comings. I have every version of TM since 2000 up to 2007. It has evolved into a memory consuming application over the years. And there are better alternatives available.

 

It may be true that Trends firewall and anti-spam are better than Kaspersky's, but most people are buying the suite for the anti-virus anyway. Also are you comparing Trend 2007 suite to Kaspersky's previous firewall and spam guard or their present software? From what I understand their present firewall and anti spam are a lot better than their previous products, Perhaps still not as good as others but again as I said before I buy a suite for the anti-virus and hold everything else it has as a plus., right now the only suite I will change to will be NOD32 3, and or possibly AntiVir if they get it to run a little better and maintain their anti-virus stats. Another thing You say is the price. As I always say there is a reason things cost what they do, the better things usually cost more. Also as posted in another post there are discounts for Kaspersky if you know where to look.

 

I have used Trend Micro's PC-Cillin for a couple of years. I think it's a good program and their Internet Security Suite has some nice features. I liked the MS Vulnerability Check as a handy bonus feature (as someone who doesn't use MS Windows Automatic Update sevice). The TM firewall isn't bad, and can be made to block outbound applications - but in the end I disabled it and went for Kerio. All in all, I've found TM (up to 2006 ver.) to be reliable and stable, and haven't noticed any bugs or incompatibilities.

However, on looking for an AV package for a second PC, I read some reports here and there suggesting that TM's virus detection was not so good. Also alarmed at reports of high memory usage.

I decided to try Kaspersky AV on my main machine. I immediate noticed that both startup and shutdown times were significantly reduced compared with when I had TM running. A full scan using KAV detected a couple of low risk threats on my machine that TM had not. So far, my trail of KAV has been great - stable, low resource usage, and a nice logical interface to the AV software. I will be buying a license.

 

KIS firewall is as well as the best out there, it actually only fails two leaktests that are going to be fixed for the MP1, I want to add that the Anti Hacker in KIS is complemented with the PDM ( Proactive Defense Module) that is the one that actually detect the most of the leaks.
A question: Does that Trend Micro Suite detect Keyloggers, rootkits, process injection as KIS does?

And also the the AS of trend micro is not as good as they say, i personally prefer SUPERAntispyware, and Ewido.
