Summary: Best Virus protection for Power Users
Review: I've installed PC-Cillin on dozens of PCs that were running current versions of McAfee and Norton. In many cases, PC-Cillin found virus infections that the other two slept through. It is not the easiest to use nor is it always trouble-free. I've seen some system slowdowns and crashes that were always due to a conflict with some other software running in the background. I've seen the same with Mc&N as well. Bottom line is, if you can sort out some minor conflicts that MIGHT come along, this is much more thorough than Mc&N. Trend typically updates virus definitions every couple of days. During the Anna Kournikova crisis, I saw three new updates IN ONE DAY!!! Norton didn't respond until at least 48 hours later. I wouldn't be without it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PC Cillin rates tops above all other virus packages!
Review: I've used all the other packages & I'll tell you this is by far the best. When everyone is scrambling and dealing with viruses "after the fact"; Trend gets me way ahead of the game.

I had one virus that tried to get me through e-mail... Trend's POP3 scan slammed this thing even before it had a chance to get into my system.

Bottom line is it's easy and it works! Worth every penny... and then some.

Summary: PC-Cillin 2000 Virus Protection
Review: In terms of user interface Pc-cillin is argueably the best, I used it for many years. The worst thing about pcc 2k is that it lulls the user into a false sense of security, which could be computer suicide :(.
When I Installed norton 2002 it detected no less than four different viruses that had been missed even on Trend's online housecall. I was a big fan of pc-cillin, but I was very disheartend now and I assure you I will never use it or recommend it again. Buy Norton AV 2002!

Summary: Not entirely compatible with Windows 2000
Review: It claims to be compatible with Windows 2000 Professional, but there are some exceptions to this. For example, when I installed it on my machine it wasn't able to set up the proper registry permissions and so it wouldn't work until I found an article on their web site explaining what to change in the registry. Also, to make things worse, it won't work correctly in any account that doesn't have superuser or higher permissions. This is unacceptable in my view as it leaves my users unprotected.

By the way, the splash screen that comes up when you start a browser can be easily disabled by going into the "web trap" menu.

Summary: PCcillin 6 virus scan
Review: One of the best virus scans I`ve seen and used. It`s as good or better than Mcafee and Norton. The web site is easer to get to and not as busy, and they have a Email right on your version and a 1 800. # you can call. They answered my Email right away with very good answers. It` worth a try! `

Summary: A decent mode of protection from virii.
Review: PC-Cillin does have it's title box show up whenever you move from one online interface to another, but it's unobtrusive and a nice reminder that your protection is there. I had several virii [the plural of virus] enter my system through email. PC-Cillin cleaned almost all of them immediately. Those that could not be cleaned were "quarantined" and the program has a nice "submit" button that sends them to the maker, Trend. Trend analysizes all of the virii you sent, and emails you a "fix" program for those that may have corrupted your system files. It automatically updates while you are online, and if that bothers you, you can minimize it, and let it do its thing unseen. Merely installing PC-Cillin does a virus scan for you. For those who feel they have conflicts with it and Windows startup files, you can turn off the "Scan on startup" function. It's a good value, and I have had very good support via email. The voice help, is a toll call though.

Summary: Worst software and support I've ever seen.
Review: The problems with this software and Win95c rate as one of the worst I've ever seen. I experienced problems such as Windows protection errors, random rebooting and freezing on startup, fatal exception errors and the worst modem performance ever. Once I uninstalled this program, every one of these problems listed disappeared. I emailed their support and still haven't recieved a response after two days. I've since had to reformat my HardDrive and install Win95c again to correct all the after effects the software produced.

Note: The software was installed after performing all the upgrades suggested by PC-Sillan and more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The least system requirement there is at the best price.
Review: Trend makes an antivirus product that is effective, easy to use and stops email attacks before they can gain access to your computer. While some antivirus software brings things to a crawl PC-Cillin 2000 uses the smallest amount of system resources of any antivirus progarm I have found. You can completely control everything the software does, using one of the best interfaces on the market. It has several scans you can select, the product popups and warnings can be even be determined by the user. The system scans are very fast and automatic. More than twice as fast as Norton. It works well on any Windows Operating System, and Trend allows XP and other Window users to evaluate the software for a month for free which includes virus updates. Finally...you get the CD at a very good price if you have a hard drive problem or change computers it is there for you to use. The technical support using email is excellent if you need to send a virus package for evaluation.
