I am a satisfied user of Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007, and i find it easy to use.
Above is a screenshot of the main page of the Anti-Virus (AV).As you can see from the screenshot, it has a very clear interface and is very user friendly.
It consists of 6 main tabs on the left side of the main page:
- Overview
- Virus & Spyware Controls
- Personal Network & Firewall Controls
- Internet & Email Controls
- Other Settings
- Help & Support
The latest Trend Micro product can be found on their website http://apac.trendmicro.com/ (Asia-Pacific) or http://us.trendmicro.com/ (US).
Their newest product have a similar interface as PC-cillin Internet Security 2007.

I like Trend Micro's Real-Time Protection that it gives the computer the needed security when opening files and when the programs start running.
It also warns you when some programs are trying to change your computer/internet settings, giving you the rights over the programs to choose whether u want to allow the changes in the settings, when some of the programs might be malicious.
However, there isn't much options for the scanning part of Trend Micro, unlike other products like Adaware, which have "Smart Scan" that saves much of my time.
Trend Micro's scanning takes quite some time, and therefore, it is recommended to scan only when you have the time.
Trend Micro is not well known for scanning properties and it is listed at the bottom of the top AVs around for scanning as it had missed some viruses during comparison.
