    Internet security is important. There are options that will not sacrifice computer resources as much.

    I do not like this product ! Anything with an expiration of only 6 months is bogus.. i installed it on my old computer first .. seemed to not help at all.. coincidence maybe... that it seemed to get worse.. maybe i did something wrong - by accepting something else or whatever ..

    not the best protections out there, it did its job but did cause a lot of programs to crash and made the system run a little slower

    Did not use. Windows10 with Windows Defender works just as well if not better. One less extra un-needed program.

    This software was added to my cart when I was checking out with my Surface Pro bundle. When I tried to return something else in the order (not the bundle), my refund was deducted the $29.99 value of this "free" add-on Best Buy added to my cart. I did not want or plan to use this software. On top of that the customer service at the Houston Richmond location was extremely rude and disrespectful.

      Be sure you are visiting the special Trend Micro website for Best Buy customers to download the version that will work with the activation code for your subscription, Babygirl. You should have an email from Best Buy with the link. trend-micro

    Windows gives a warning when installing about leaving S mode or something so I didn't finish installing it since it is only a 6 month subscription anyway.
