Strengths:	Easy installation; Frequent(every 3 hours) and fast downloads of virus updates; Good balance between keeping computer secure and too many warning messages; Great price!
Weaknesses:	Some features offered in 2007 edition now only available in the Pro upgrade version for 2008--but not a deal breaker.

I've used Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 for more than a year and installed version 2008 last week. A very easy install process--it installs itself flawlessly, including removing the old program by itself. I moved to this product from Norton AV to try to save computer resources, and I think Trend Micro Internet Security does a good job without excessive memory and processor use. My computer has Vista-3GB memory and laptop has XP-750MB RAM.The user interface is easy to use with sliders to control some settings and check boxes for others. I recommend using the default settings Trend Micro gives until you have time to decide how well the program is working for you. Since installing the 2008 program, it has found 2 trojen virus in files that have been on my computer a long time. Maybe it was a false hit, but I removed the files anyway.I did a lot of homework on anti virus programs before I decided on this one. I think it's a crap-shoot to find a program that runs great, protects you, and doesn't cost too much. Trend Micro Internet Security 2008 works for me. Good luck to you.

Software installation was pretty straight-forward, no problems or conflicts at all. Three User version obviously allows Internet Security to be installed on 3 different pc's. Once runnning, it silently protects you while running in the background. It does not seem to slow my system down at all. Good all-in-one product.

Strengths:	May be better than symantec
Weaknesses:	Deceptive Renewal Process

Full User Summary
When your renewal time comes due, you will be signed up automatically to have your product renewed yearly on your charge card. Trend Micro claims on the web site that you can click and opt out. TRY IT, they "have a glitch" and you can't opt out, unless you want to call and wait on hold. This is how much confidence they have in their product selling itself!

As someone that gets annoyed with anti-virus products slowing PCs down, I find that Trend offers the same protection without the slowdown. The 2008 Internet Security package works wonderfully on my new Vista laptop, and doesn't hog system resources. The fact that I can put it on 2 other PCs is nice as well. High-quality product.

This software performs adequately; it seems to do a reasonable job in securing my machine. Unfortunately, it does so at a price: system resources. My machine is noticeably slower after installing this Trend Micro software. Still, this software is reasonably easy to use.
