    Not a good anti virus, thinks some safe files I’ve used in another computer are dangerous, yet they are perfectly fine and nothing has been shown.

    I do NOT download an install programs like this, because after the time is up you get FLOODED with spam to buy there product. It was part of a bundle pack on a computer purchase an is "free" for 6 months. My opinion is its a gimmick an junk, will not an would not install it.

    I should have listened to the other poor reviews that I had seen for this laptop but got distracted by the great Black Friday price. Should have saved the $250 and put it toward a nicer laptop with higher performance. This computer isn't even suitable for simple word processing and internet browsing.

    I am just using the hp and Microsoft security suite that came preinstalled. Offering this had no bearing on my purchasing the computer and it should impact your decision. I have heard mixed things about this service, so again, decided not to use.

    Not using even though it was free with purchase. I have MacAfee on all my devices. Had this loaded on a relative's computer and it slowed it down to the point where you were waiting for it just to boot up. Opening apps took forever.

    not sure why Anti-Virus software is paired with an operating system that has built in protection and is best protected by the manufacture of the software since they know what the software is supposed to do.

      Be sure to check the system requirements for the software, including the operating system. You may need to use one of the special extensions that are needed for laptops running Windows 10 in S Mode and on Chromebooks. trend-micro

    I haven’t been able to download this software to my new iPad Air because it says it isn’t available in the App Store. This is a disappointment to me, although my decision to buy the iPad wasn’t dependent on the promise of the software.

      Please be sure to visit the special Trend Micro website for Best Buy customers using your iPad Air to find the extensions that allow you to use your Trend Micro Mobile Security subscription, Bren. You should have an email from Best Buy with the link. trend-micro

    This was offered as my free item when I purchased a refurbished laptop. When I tried to download it to that laptop it said they were not compatible. I called and chatted with several geek squad agents and after about the 4th person I just gave up. The whole situation was so dumb.

      We're sorry to hear about your experience, joh21. It's possible that the laptop does not meet with minimum system requirements for the current version of Trend Micro security, or it's possible that there is another security program already installed on the computer. We'd love to help you out. Please give us a call. trend-micro
