Summary: It turned out to be the best solution for me!
Review: I owned McAfee (Office Pro 2000 and Version 6) programs in the past. Office Pro 2000 really [messed] up my Windows OS a big time every time I updated the program (DAT files and engine). I had to de-install McAfee programs and re-install Windows OS every time it happened (that was the only way I can get my computer to run back to normal). Both Office 2000 and Version 6 takes forever to update from the website. You could say I don't like them anymore. Not worth the headache!

So, I tried out PC-Cillin 2000 a couple of months ago based on good reviews from other owners. After using it so far up to now, I noticed it runs a lot better than McAfee anti-virus program because this program detected virus in my mail and computer three times so far (within two months!) and it deleted them for me. McAfee program never once detect a virus for me when I had it for few years, not one! I detected a couple in the past by myself and deleted them manually. What's more, this PC-Cillin 2000 will update the program automatically for me every time the company updated the virus info. (of course, it will ask me if I want it to update it for me or not). That's great! The downloading didn't take very long, maybe a couple of minutes or so comparing to McAfee taking forever.

Lastly, I had a minor trouble with this program with my Netscape browser after I finished with my installation. The technical support was able to give me some troubleshooting help right away (in a day ot two) in timely fashion (thru e-mails) and gave me solutions to fix the problem including a patch thru downloadable attachment (upgrading the version so the program will be compatiable with my browser). This fixed the problem and everything ran smoothly. The technical support did a great job helping the customer like me. I was pleased with it.

A note: I know it bothers some people when a small PC-Cillin window shows up on your screen for a couple of seconds or so every time the program is used to detect the virus like getting new messages, etc. It doesn't bother me because I'm getting used to it. This becomes nothing compared to what's important to you (having virus detected). Right? I like this program so far and it has been helpful to me on several occasions better than other programs I had in the past. Some major stores didn't have this program on their shelves and it should have been. I wonder why? I'm glad I found it here. Thanks Amazon.com!

Summary: P C Cillin Review
Review: I purchased PC-Cillin 2000 for my computer and was dissatisfied. I have Windows 95 and Communicator 4.7. After I installed the program,we couldn't get mail. I sent 4 e-mails to the company and never got a response from tech support. I tried to call their support line and never could get through. After working with it for awhile and never getting it to work right, I uninstalled the program and sent it back.

Summary: The software doesn't work and Trend Micro won't help
Review: I purchased the product for use on a Windows NT machine. Installation was easy but after installing the product I was unable to launch the PC-cillin 2000 executable. This is the portion of the product used to define all the settings and for installing virus updates. The program will not execute and gives the message "Unable to launch the program with your privileges". I tried to run the program as NT Administrator and had the same experience. I contacted Trend Micro and only after 5 attempts to reach their support did I get any response. Needless to say, the response has been unacceptable and my call seems to have been forgotten since it has been months since I reported the problem. I no longer get any response to my messages querying the status of my problem. I am now de-installing the product never to purchase anything from Trend Micro again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Problem free, unobtrusive, Simply the best!
Review: I used to have Mcafee virus scan and would do periodic virus checks, then moved on to Norton Internet Security, and now I have finally found the best in PC-Cillin 2000.

The big problem I had with McAfee and Norton, was NOT the protection offered, they were very well with frequent updates. The real problem is remembering to run virus scans with McAfee (or having scheduled runs interupt my work). It was even worse with Norton, which offered a lot of protection, but anytime a cookie or java applet appeared a warning would follow. It became very obtrusive and annoying, as well as causing a few system crashes.

PC-Cillin 2000 gets five stars from me because it allows the net protection of Notron Internet Secuirty with all the virus protection of McAfee, AND you do not notice that it is even there.

Sure when you start your web browser the PC-Cillin 2000 banner appears for 3 seconds while loading, but after that, you will not be disturbed or annoyed with interuptions.

Installation and use, too simple to even describe, pop in the cd, follow the online instructions, and you are done. No scheduling or remembering to run this, it will run in the backgrounf just fine. Security, ease of use, no annoyances, this is the best out there.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I wanted to reward Trend Micro for providing their excellent, successful, free "Housecall" online service so I purchased PC-cillin 2000. I don't know if the software or I am to blame, but here are the facts. After installation, my computer really bogged down. I tried to adjust parameters to eliminate real time searches and screening and my computer became inaccessible. After six hours of heartache, I was able to boot my computer in safe mode and uninstall PC-cillin. My computer has been working fine since then. On a positive note, the company is customer oriented with a year of free email virus news and automatic virus pattern updates for a year. I just wish it had been successful on my computer.

Summary: NOT A VERY GOOD SOFTWARE
Review: I was debating between Norton AntiVirus Software & PC-cillan. I should have stuck with the name brand! Everytime I get on my computer PC-Cillan comes on and interrupts me with an update. If I say "yes" it does its download then crashes my computer! I have Windows "98 Sec. Ed." If I was you I would stick with the name brands. I told them about it but heard nothing back.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: See you later, Norton!
Review: I was initially concerned about switching due to the fact that previous versions didn't every virus, but this latest version has had excellent reviews, my personal experience has been very good, and the support staff are very responsive. The product itself seems to have a lot less overhead than Norton, and runs much faster. Configuring Email is much easier (you don't do anything) and it even scans web pages. The updates are FAST and run everynight. Talk about set and forget....
Now there are no more reasons to keep donating to Symantec, and I'm glad that there is competition in this market!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Protection, Great Price, Catchy Name!
Review: I've been a PCCillin user for 3-4 years. Each and every upgrade of this powerful virus protection program never ceases to amaze me. It compares dollar for dollar to the highly advertised virus programs such as Norton, McAfee & Dr Solomon's. Get upgrade information and virus update patterns on their user friendly (Easy to Navigate) website. Trend's user support is second to none. Big Protection! Great Price! and hey, a Catchy Name!
