    I hate when they supposedly give you this with a purchase, you try to download it...and the product key doesn't work. So this review is more about Best Buy and how things are so hard with them. Customer service is in India and can barely understand the rep....boo Best buy

    I have this antivirus just because it is included, but looking at reviews, it is not considered one of the best 10 antivirus solutions

      We don't advise using multiple security programs, ArizonaMike. This is why you will not be able to install Trend Micro security if you are currently using McAfee. trend-micro

    Dont buy this unless it is free. There are better software out there. After 6 months you will have to buy this again (and it comes sooner than you think). Look into a better one that suits you. Buy them when they have a promotion.

    Spam/malware. This software is unnecessary due to Windows Defender being a standard component of Windows. The software will bog down your system.

    Simply put, this software doesn't justify the cost difference between itself and a top notch freeware offering such as AVG. Save your money.
