      Your Trend Micro software is compatible for all current operating systems including Windows 7 (with Service Pack 1 installed), Windows 8.1, and Windows 10. If your computer is using Microsoft 10 S or ARM Processors, you will need to download the special app for Best Buy's Trend Micro customers. See the website listed on your card or welcome email from Best Buy for the link and more system requirement information for Macs, iOS devices, and Android devices. trend-micro

    I had to remove it because it slowed my system and the many pop-ups were very annoying. After removal, my computer went back to running smoothly

    I tried to download this to my new chrome book to no avail, I kept getting directed to the chrome book store and was not able to proceed until I purchased an upgrade. I called the geek squad, which is the help number, the representative could not help me, and advised I make an appointment at Best Buy for in person help. It was easier for me to just purchase a different antivirus protection since this one was just a 3 month free subscription.

      Trend Micro supports Mac OS 10.12 and higher, Mindy. If your Mac Pro is running an older version of Mac OS, you will not be able to use your Trend Micro software for that computer. trend-micro

    Not sure why the free trial of this keeps being pushed on us, but it doesn't offer anything over the Windows Defender that comes included with the OS. Meh

    The laptop I purchased never worked, so didn't have a chance to load it. Never had the intent to purchase this software and it's included "FREE" when purchasing the laptop. When I returned the laptop, did not receive a full refund. $29.99 was deducted because Trends Micro was part of the laptop package. I was asked to call an 800 number to claim that $29.99 back.

If you did not, please contact Geek Squad support to get the information for your Trend Micro subscription. trend-micro

      Be sure you are getting the software file from the special download website for Best Buy customers, Faym13. Best Buy should have sent you a link to the website soon after purchase. If you don't have that link, contact Best Buy support. trend-micro
