Summary: PC-Cillin: Only slightly less annoying than a real virus!
Review: I can't say for sure how well it works, but from what I hear it works very well. I'm not positive, I'm very careful and haven't gotten a virus yet. However, I certainly can tell you how Godawful annoying this thing is. It's constantly popping up a little window about itself. This window is automatically on top, and if you're in the middle of doing something... well... you aren't anymore. Because PC-Cillin wanted to give you the ever-so urgent notice that it hasn't crashed and it's still running. Thanks for the update, PC-Cillin. I truly care. I've searched and found no option to turn this window off. I'm pretty sure it's part of the protection against malicious java and directx. There is an option to turn off this "welcome" screen but guess what? The option is only for looks. It doesn't really stop it from constantly being annoying. On the bright side, I've heard enough success stories to be pretty sure its protection is top notch. If you're not too careful, or go to the types of sites that would cause a problem, this may be the program for you. However, personally, I'm going to look for something far less... annoying.

Summary: No nonsense virus protection.
Review: I don't know how many virus utilities I've used but I do know the ones that make an impression, albeit good or bad. PC-cillin is a no frills, no jazz virus scanner that just works. It doesn't carry the big Norton or McAfee name and it won't be advertised all over the web or in magazines, but this thing works...VERY well too I might add.Once again, compare prices and keep one thing in mind...am I buying virus protection software, or virus protection software and a big name? You make the choice and your wallet pays the consequence.

Summary: Better than Nortan 2002
Review: I had been having problems with 2002 doing a manual update constantly doing exactly what tech support said and nothing worked. Finally i just got so fed up of listening to their so called tech support i just stopped using it and switched to PC-cillian. I knew nortan was insecure..upon installation of PC-cillian it found a backdoor. Thankyou PC-cillian. You have helped me rest better knowing my pc is secure from backdoors lets just hope they dont target you if you get too famous.

Summary: Brilliant for non-Internet users. Overall ? a beauty!!!
Review: I had Mcafee pre-installed into my (home) PC package when I purchased it in 1998; the 98 version did not contain an update function. I merrily used my PC for many years until September of 2001. I was infected by the W97_verlour virus, which my school computer detected. I began an intensive search for an anti-virus software. Read mountains of reviews. By mere fluke I came upon Trend's PC-cillin. Catchy name! The overall customer rating in Amazon was 4/5 stars. (IMPRESSED!! Better than its rivals). After reading these reviews I was nearly converted. I purchased the product, which is so much cheaper than its well-known rivals. Completely converted! Installation was a breeze. (It even scanned for viruses during setup and cleaned them!). Friendly HCI (human computer interface). Appreciate the automatic scheduling of scans. But what I valued and was pleased about the most was the virus updates for those who owned a PC but were not connected to the Internet at home like myself. Other products like Norton or Mcafee, you require Internet connection as the only means of ensuring up to date virus protection. (This greatly disadvantages non-net users. What is the point of purchasing anti-virus software then?) But Trend not only contains this feature but users can go on the Trend website in school or Internet café and download the zip file containing the updates on to the hard drive. I then write the zip file onto a CD RW. I take it home and follow Trend's instructions on how to manually update (basically extract the zip file from the CD RW to the Trend folder on your drive then reboot the computer. Simple!) The technical support through e-mail is superb - response within 2 days (one of the benefits of a relatively small firm compared to the "supposed giants"). Mcafee took 4 weeks for a simple query. I recommend this product to all. I give it 10 out of 5 stars. Delicious!!

Summary: The best and fastest anti-virus program - Norton replacement
Review: I had Norton Anti-virus for a while and eventually grow to hate it. Even uninstalling Norton AV is a pain in the rear itself. So I switched Trend Micro's Pc-clinin. I have to say I am very happy with it. It offers basic protection, doesn't hog system resource and slow down your system like Norton, and it doesn't always get into your way. The sad thing is the major computing media doesn't give much review to Trend Micro's product, perhaps because Trend Micro isn't a big advertising dollar contributor like Symantec and McAfee. Get this program and you won't regret.

Summary: It turned out to be the best solution for me!
Review: I have had my share of problems with Norton. In the past, I also noticed it was a resource hog. So, when I set up my newest computer and had problems with Norton System Works 2000 messing my registry, I just gave up on it. I tried several times by restoring my registry. On my quest to find suitable Anti-Virus protection, PC-Cillin was on my potentials list. Though I was not sure at the time, I mentioned it to a friend who then told me he had been through several options and has now been using PC-Cillin for a while and found it to be the best yet. I have to agree, since my friend is a programmer and more tech-savvy than me. PC-Cillin has been problem-free for me for months now and it updates its virus profiles weekly ... sometimes more than that. Best of all, I have had no virii infections or security breeches, (it also monitors for malicious web content -- though you should use a firewall as well). I work with a lot of files from outside my machine, so I would have to say my situation is a good acid test. While there are other fine anti-virus utilties out there, I am very happy with Trend Micro's offering and I do recommend it. My experience shows that it is very non-intrusive and light on the CPU and resources, which is another benefit that I appreciate.

Summary: Great Virus Scan Wouldn't do without it!!!
Review: I have used other virus scans (which I will not mention) and this is the only one I used because my other scan couldn't clean out a nasty trojan virus. This thing couldn't either, but pc-cilin quarantined it!!! I haven't had any problems since!!! it also pops up when my outlook express has mail. I don't worry about viruses like I used to!!! Get this one for sure!!!

Summary: Fast
Review: I have used PC-Cillin for several years now, updating to the 2000 version. The updates are flawless. It has worked well with Win'95, 98,98'2d, and ME. I read some of the reviews listed here and most were in line with how this product performs for myself, perfect. I wonder if the one star reviews were even real? This program has been just great. The biggest selling point for me was speed. This software program works fast. Very fast. There are no interuptions as described in some of the reviews, and unlike Norton or McAfee, it scans quickly. On my 32GB drive times were over two hours with Norton. With McAfee the times were longer! Trends, PC-Cillan ran the scan in 18 minutes. Never a virus with this product, NEVER! And email support on one question was within 24 hours.

Summary: PC-cillin antivirus cleaner
Review: I just got PC-cillin 2000 - in the write up platform it says that it is for Windows ME. When I got it it doesn't say that it is for Windows ME anywhere! If you get it to go on a Windows ME computer, it might not work. I put it on Windows 98. I sort of had a hard time at first. I put it in & nothing happened. I went to Run & typed in the command & nothing. It even locked up my computer & I couldn't get it out. I pushed Ctrl-Alt-Delete & finally got unlocked. I took it out of the CD-Rom Drive & retried it again then it worked without any more problems. It remains to be seen how it does it job.
