I am seeking thoughts on Avast anti-virus and the Trend Micro client/server program. I recently did some research and came across some information regarding the Trend Micro program that raised the hair on back of my neck that was not good so it has brought me to this website in hopes I can find out a bit more information.

What I am starting to discover is the free version of Avast seems to be a bit more stable in how it manages issues and keeps track of things especially for a computer that is frequently working across the Internet on a constant basis. I believe what I had read on this testing was Trend Micro allows the virii to come into the system before stoping where the Avast anti-virus software will prevent that tfrom taking place. Now I am trying to determine how true this is and if there is something else I need to be concerned about. The system I would be using this on has documentation I do not want damaged so it will require doing fancy backing up onto another piece of hardware and/or burning onto a CD because the documentation cannot be replaced by material or the time spent working on it. Between family matter and a college dissertation that is still underway it is extremely valuable. At any rate, I'm very cautious and have started to ask questions, a lot of questions; which is what brought me here especially after seeing the few comments and videos of testing between the two anti-virus software programs.

I'm just a concerned person trying to ensure my system is protected and all the items within are going to be protected. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and feedback on the comparison between Avast free version (the latest) and Trend Micro Security Agent client/server anti-virus.

Kind regards, Sue.

Is an inexpensive antivirus offering that falls short of our, though it puts up a good fight in our hands-on testing and labs have treated it well in recent years. The core tenets are there and, for a cheap package, you can’t go wrong. In this Trend Micro Antivirus+ review, we’ll compare the base plan to the more expensive Internet Security and Maximum Security plans. We’ll discuss features, pricing, user-friendliness, protection and support before giving our verdict. We think Trend Micro is a broad antivirus that’ll appeal to families and individuals. The pricing is good, so you’ll get in cheap, but there’s a trade-off in performance, protection and features, even if it’s minor. Features are on Antivirus+, as this plan establishes the baseline protections on which all others are built.

Still, there are a few non-security features that should make using your machine more convenient. The first is “mute mode.” It stops non-critical notifications from interrupting work, games or movies. Trend Micro doesn’t remove the notifications completely, but delays them until you turn mute mode off. The second, and last, is social media protection, which is more annoying than useful. Trend Micro will show a green check mark next to safe links it finds on Facebook and Twitter. Common sense should handle that task better, though, considering the feature slows any website down to a crawl.

Other features focus on security. You get ransomware protection, real-time scanning and web filtering. There’s also a comprehensive list of email and network protections, so Trend Micro can fish out phishes.

Trend Micro’s Paid Features Internet Security and Maximum Security have a better list of features. Even though these features are hidden behind a paywall, the core protection is the same, which is something from Trend Micro’s lineup that we like a lot. Internet Security comes with parental controls and a system optimizer that functions like CCleaner. The premium is mainly for the two extra devices you can secure, though. We would expect some sort of file shredder at this tier, as well, but Trend Micro doesn’t include one.

Trend Micro includes its password manager, which is decent, but doesn’t hold a candle to the, such as Dashlane (read our ). You also get a secure browser, but Avast’s Secure Browser is free (read our ).
