Keep Your Receipt
The good news is that it didn't trash my operating system like NAV did! (...) The product itself seems to work as well as other AV software. Every time I go online it downloads an update. With a dialup connection and no other internet activity, these downloads take 10 to 20 minutes, regardless of the fact that it was just updated the previous day! If you actually have something to do online, cancel the download operation because everything slows down to a crawl. On two separate occasions, an update plus 10 minutes of internet productivity took me over an hour! After three months it has found one virus downloading to my computer. The results were exactly the same as I have had with other AV software. The virus is detected while being downloaded, the AV software allows the download, attempts to delete the file, fails, and then tells you if you want to delete it, you'll have to do it manually. Can't someone create a product that doesn't download the virus and appends the virus definition file rather than downloading a complete list every time?

Excellent!
I am a casual pc user who gave up using Norton and Macafee 3 years ago because of persistent problems I encountered with both programs - interminible running times and poor tech support to mention but 2. After reading PC Mags review of PC-cillin, I purchased the disc and have never regretted the choice since. Yes there are some problems from time to time but, I have always been able to either resolve them myself or get help from their tech support. They get my vote.

Glad to go back to NAV
I'd read reports of how NAV is a resource hog and decided to research other AV software. After a lot of research I decided to try Trend PC-Cillin due to the reports of what a great AV program it is and how few resources it uses. First I tried downloading their evaluation copy of their security suite. That should have been a tip off. The AV scans were slow and trying to pull up a browser screen or Outlook were almost impossible while the scan was running. I considered it may have been due to the other programs in the suite also running in the background. I went out and purchased Trend's standalone version-PC-cilling AntiVirus 11. Even as a standalone program, it was excessively slow, with all the same problems I experienced in the security suite. I want to emphasize, I do not have a slow system (P4 2.8Ghz, 1GB DDR RAM), I was scrupulous removing the prior version of NAV before installing the Trend products, including using NAV's program removal tools to clean up the system before installation. I was able to put up with this for 24 hours but have now removed it and reinstalled NAV 2005 on my system and it's running a full system scan in the background while I type this review. While Trend may produce a good product, it didn't work for me and I've wasted $40.00 in the process.
