Summary: Best Choice
Review: After having a lot of problems with Mc & Nort I thought I would give this a try. The only issue I had was a bad disk from Amazon. Amazon's return policy to the rescue and within a week I had a new disk. This disk loaded without problems and the program has been great. Easy to use, thorough scans, fast scans, and fast updates, what more could you ask for.

Summary: What Antivirus Software Should Be
Review: After reading excellent reviews on online forums, I decided to download PC-cillin 2000. During installation, it found eight viruses on my system. Just the day before, I had updated my Norton AntiVirus (NAV) 5.0, run an all files scan, and gotten a clean report. As you can imagine, NAV went right in the trash. PC-cillin 2000 seemed to perform a very thorough scan, taking some time on compressed files (.zip, etc.), which I considered to be a good thing. Updating the virus pattern database is straightforward and hassle free.

PC-cillin 2000 sports a clean, intuitive interface. The background is default gray, and there are just enough graphics to guide the eye. As it should be with any utility that spends most of its time running in the background, PC-cillin's goods are on the inside. The result is that PC-cillin takes up only 14MB on your hard drive (compared to the 50MB that the bloated NAV 2001 with its graphics intensive interface requires), yet does its job better than its competition. Trend Micro's tech support is great too.

I read on the Internet that PC-cillin 2000 was given some special recognition by Microsoft. Trend Micro is also embarking on a corporate security software project with ZoneLabs, manufacturer of ZoneAlarm, an outstanding firewall application. This kind of recognition speaks highly of Trend Micro and its antivirus technology.

In case I haven't made it obvious, I am quite impressed with PC-cillin 2000 and recommend it highly.

Summary: The Cleaner
Review: After trying other virus cleaners that didn't work I used PC-cillian it was the best virus cleaner. It found 408 virus' on my system and deleted them all. Now I don't have to worry about virus' like I use to. PC-cillian is very simple to use and it's very thorough in cleaning up the virus'.

Summary: The only SENSIBLE virus-checker
Review: At the end of my rope due to the now-legendary "impossible upgrade" to McAfee 5.1 (and mightily frustrated by their offensive pricing policies and monstrous (2-4 MB) update files), I was pleasantly shocked at how much easier PC-Cillin was to use and update. I'd call it ideal for anyone who *doesn't* want to be constantly sniveled at by their virus checker. Norton and McAfee are always "in your face," which to me is the wrong way to make an impression.

Two minor issues: First, the Netscape mail-paralyzer glitch mentioned in a prior review is easily remedied. In Netscape, click Edit, Preferences, Mail Servers, and under Incoming Server, replace "host" with your mail server. (This is a documented bug and the fix is shown on the manufacturer's website.) And PC-Cillin doesn't protect against malicious scripts (VBS, etc.). All that means is, you have to be smart enough to disable scripting for mail & news -- which is hardly a necessary feature for the majority of home users.

Summary: I would never be without it!
Review: For the past couple of years we have used the online scan and it worked well but we still had Norton on all computers and it NEVER found anything. I somehow got the sasser virus and my computer kept shutting down every 60 seconds. I researched it and found that it came through Norton's update download and blocked even going to Norton's website. I was able to go into DOS and stop the shutdowns and then went to the free scan page and it found the virus in less than 5 seconds!! Right then and there we bought it for all of our home computers. I would never again be without it!

Summary: Good Program
Review: Having used the "big names" this product came on a new computer with XP home edition I purchased. I tried to update Macafee on my old computer 2 days ago and it choked my computer big time, messed up the reistry etc. This one is unobtrusive, updates god awfully all the time, good thing right? I am now geting the 98 version for the work computer to fix what the update did! By the way notice the price, I just got tired of paying for all those commercials. By the way in the month I have had the program I have had 4 automatic updates.

Summary: PC-Cillin 2000 Virus Protection
Review: Here is a product that I listened to the ratings and have been very disappointed. It has caused my system to lock up on start up and shut down every day. So far, technical support has been most unhelpful. I think that these may be very nice people working there, but very untrained. The support did not go beyond what I had already tried from support online. I was told to uninstall my previous version and reinstall the 2002 version. Only problem was, the serial number that I was given did not work, and so far no one has been willing to supply me with a working number. It's been over a week now that I have been without virus protection and I have had this product for less than two months.I wanted to give this company a try, but so far I am not pleased.

Summary: Works great, good customer support
Review: I bought PCC a week ago and had some problems installing it. However, the customer support at Trend Micro was very prompt and provided an accurate solution to my problem. I was successfully able to install it and it works great now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A 2000 product that's still good for 2002...
Review: I bought this software with experiences of trial and full versions of software from Norton and McAfee. My findings: Equal quality from PC-Cillin at a lower price than Anti-Virus or VirusScan. The swift scan time and web browser protection are good bonuses too. This is a good protection program to buy...
