    I had no clue how to install, then it said it wasn't compatible with my device, so I gave up...

    It's a free gift to the laptop I bought, but only for 6 months. I never use subscriptions for less than 12 months. But even if it had 12 months free I still woudn't use this product. I have Bit Defender for the last 2 years and it works very well, I also use Kaspersky Total security which is on the same level as Bit Defender.

      Security software helps to prevent identity personal information theft regardless of operating system, Bignemo. We hope you consider using your Trend Micro subscription with your Mac computer. trend-micro

    Got an extended trial with it free with a chromebook but it wasn't worth it. Kept trying to override various programs I needed. Too much of a hassle and I uninstalled it. Wouldn't recommend. You get what you pay for in my opinion. Plus way too many emails from Best Buy bothering me about it.

    All I get is a bunch of pop up’s from trend micro internet security about potential threats. I have McAfee LifeSave protecting my pc and they don’t see this threats, I just think that TMIS just wants to seem like they are protecting my pc but is annoying. I didn’t buy it, it was a horrible gift from Best Buy and now I regret installing it

    Unnecessary and unwanted, But it will send you notifications and reminders for 6 months. God forbid you install this on your computer where it'll run at 25% of your CPUs capacity until you uninstall it completely.

    Very aggravating to think about the time wasted on this free security that has no mention of it not working for free with windows 10s. even though it was given as a free promotion with the windows 10s machine that I purchased. Go figure that one. I guess free with a machine that is compatible ??? Thanks for wasting my time on this Best Buy and Trend.

      Trend Micro partnered with Microsoft and Best Buy to offer a version of their security software specifically designed to run on Windows 10 in S Mode. Be sure to follow the link in the messages from Best Buy to access the Trend Micro download website for Best Buy customers, Scotmo. The link to the 10S-compatible version can be found there. trend-micro

    I installed this when I got a brand new Alienware M17. It crashed my system and would crash 2 minutes into loading up Windows. I factory rebooted it because I thought my old gaming mouse did it but after many tests, this software was causing the issues. After I deactivated it and uninstalled it, the problem never came back. I cannot say how well it actually works.
