First I downloaded this product to my husband's laptop. His Norton AV was expiring, and we both had SpySweeper Antispyware on our computers, and the last couple of Spysweeper updates were causing so many problems with false positives...finding cookies and quarantining them so that we had to re-enter passwords on things like our homepage and Amazon. Pain in the behind. Anyway, after uninstalling the old antispyware and antivirus, I downloaded the trial version...although rated #1 in Consumer Reports, I wanted to check it out myself. It downloaded perfectly, fast and easy, and after updating and scanning, it went to work. PLUS, there was NO CONFLICT with other programs (BitDefender was a conflict with LoJack for Laptops and never did get that resolved which is why he went to NortonAV!) I was so impressed that I ordered the Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 from Amazon, fast service, fast delivery, lowest price by $10.
When it arrived, I uninstalled all my old antispyware/antivirus programs and installed it on my desktop. I did the customized install in order to retain Windows Firewall instead of using the Trend Micro firewall (they told me that theirs might conflict with the firewall in our router, so I played it safe there). Again, smooth, easy install. I ran the program update as advised during the install, and the full scan, and it's working great. Catches things that Spysweeper and BitDefender did not catch. One of my favorite things is that it lets me manage cookies easily (not so with the others) and its spam filter works well, catching things that slipped through before. Also it's easy to configure to my liking. I have absolutely nothing to dislike about this program.
Then I uninstalled in on my husband's laptop (which went perfectly, not like Michael's complaints below) and reinstalled it from the CD. Same thing....perfect, clean, easy install.
Both computers now boot up faster than they ever have.
I'd recommend this program, but first you MUST uninstall any other antispyware/antivirus to get a clean install, (which is also true when installing any other brands of antivirus) and also disable other firewalls, or choose not to through their customize option during installation....you can't run more than one firewall, per TM technical support. BTW, right now, since the product is so new, there is a wait time if you call, but they assured me that would improve once they get past this initial new release period.
Bottom line: Highly recommend this program.
Excellent product, exceptional value October 8, 2007

I've used prior versions of Trend's internet security (or simply anti-virus) products, and I've found them to be excellent for home and small office use. I have computers running Vista Premium, XP Pro, and XP Home, and easily loaded this version on all three machines. Ignore the reviewer who said it only worked on one computer, that's horse hockey.
How does it compare to the others? Well, most of my other experiences have been with Symantec, and I prefer Trend over Symantec. Symantec's corporate edition is excellent for the workplace, and it's saved my bacon numerous times in my past roles as a network administrator. But the home version of Symantec is just too piggish, and the latest version of Symantec's product is just plain annoying (I received a trial version with my Vista machine). I found the Symantec interface to be very unintuitive, like a badly designed web page. That finally blew itself up after 1 month, not because the trial period ran out, but because it's junk software. That inspired me to stick with the tried and true Trend Micro, and I was impressed with how much better the interface was for Trend. Incredibly easy to use and install. I recommend this to all of my friends who seem to think that internet security software is "optional" (then they call me up to come over and fix their computers).

I haven't bought this product yet, but I have just downloaded and installed the free 30-day trial version Of Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 and am VERY pleased with it so far. Running Vista, I have had problems with some security products in the past (including Trend Micro) but it appears they have now corrected those problems with this newly-released product.
Frankly, the review immediately prior to mine seems dubious. He submitted reviews for TWO Trend Micro products, claims he purchased them both on the same day, and submitted identical (and very negative!) reviews for both products! Why would he buy a second product from the same company if he was so disappointed with the first one?? He panned both Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 AND Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008. I smell a fish.
What I found was that the free 30-day trial version of Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 installed flawlessly and has a VERY clear user interface. It detected and removed numerous spy cookies. It scanned my files quickly and found no viruses. No surprise there because I had been running a competitor's product for the past month, which kept my PC clean. I've been evaluating several competing security suites for my new Vista system until I decide which one I want to purchase. ZoneAlarm seemed to work well, as did Bitware. My impression is that the Trend Micro Pro is the most complete of the three, and has the clearest user interface. All three cost about the same. I'll give the Trend Micro another week or so of use and then make my purchase, which at this point I think will be the Trend Micro, probably not the "Pro" version but instead the simpler Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 version. It lacks a few of the features of the "Pro", but they're not features I'm apt to use and it costs about $20 less.
Based on my use so far, I really don't have any idea what the prior reviewer is talking about. If you go to the Trend Micro website, there's a link, in plain view, right on the order page which allows you to select whatever renew option you desire - automatic or not - as well as allowing you to select either 1 year, 2 year, or 3 year. And it clearly says "3 user" also, not "1 user" as he claimed. Frankly, his review sounds like sour grapes. Maybe he works for a competing security product? Else why would he submit two identical reviews for two different products from the same vendor, and both reviews claim that he dislikes that vendor intensely???
I don't work for Trend Micro (although I have used their product in the past when I had XP and was pleased with it) nor do I work for any other software security company. I'm just your typical PC user, trying to find a good product for my Vista system. I encourage others to try the free Trend Micro trial products (they offer several versions to pick from) for themselves. But as I said earlier, my impression is that it's now the best of the lot, and I have tried Bitware, Microsoft's suite (I forget what they called it but it was "Onestop" or "TotalCare" or something like that), Norton's version for Vista, and ZoneAlarm, so I have a pretty good basis for comparison.

I have been using the 2007 version of TM Internet Security, I really liked how is worked, made me feel more secure, I just upgraded to the Trend Micro Pro, andI love it except for I dont get pop up warnings or info notifications, such as inspecting incoming/outgoing mail, or flags pop when i enter a website loaded with spyware, thats the con, the pros is fixes threats automatically, more options for better security and the the ability to turn on Keystroke Encryption wich i really like, shows wireless signal strength and also has the trendprotect built in, but I will always choose Trend Micro Products over any other antivirus internet security products
If you have the 2007 version of Trend Micro internet security you can download the upgrade to the Pro you wont have to pay for it, you just down load it and it upgrades the 2007 version and you just renew whenever you 2007 liscense runs out,

I just read all of the previous reviews and was nervous downloading this product. I have a brand new HP PC with Vista Home Premium, furnished with a Norton trial package. I removed Norton as previously recommended, and then downloaded the 30-day free trial for this product. I had absolutely no problems. The entire process was very easy and quick. I consider myself an intermediate type user, I am not a computer geek. If I could do this, anyone could.
