trendmicro2009 Based on the tests performed by various testing labs, the Trend Micro Internet Security is the worst security suite. The security suite fails badly when it matters most. The Internet Security Pro 2009 is incapable of recognizing the malware before it attacks your system. Priced at $70 for three users, the security suite underperformed with full 20% points less malware detection rate than the next worst security suite. At times, when the top security suites are capable of detecting about 99% malware, the Trend Micro can only detect around 70% malware files. If we go by the stats, the Trend Micro is not security software, which you can rely upon. Moreover, the Trend Micro also failed to detect most of the files when it was tested against the unknown malware files.

The Trend Micro Internet Security Suite performed well when it was used to remove the exiting malware files. It removed almost all the files and matched it performance with that of the BitDefender Internet Security 2009. It also performed well when dealing with the Registry changes.

The Trend Micro claims that the new version of the security suite is based on proactive protection which means it will block the threats before they can install malware. For proactive protection the suite must recognize the malware before it attacks. Trend Micro downloads the details about the attacks from its online database.

Trend Micro Internet Security includes a number of good features which include scanning for missing Windows patches as well as the warning if you are using unencrypted wireless network. Also the user interface is pretty good and simple. The interface clearly gives you complete description of every feature and option. Moreover, the simple English words are used instead of technical words.

But the Trend Micro made the software excessively simple. There are no pop ups or warnings when something is occurred. If there is no alert or pop up the users will simply think that there is some problem with the web browser and will try to access the file with through any other browser. There is an option to activate the alerts and warnings but this should have been set by default.
