    I got this with my new tablet, but refuse to use it since I strongly dislike software like this.

    Tried several times to download since I paid for it have yet to install it. Reached out to support and let’s just say ended even more frustrated with the process and lack of support needed. Therefore gave up for now.

      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, NotHappy2020. You should have an email from Best Buy with the link. trend-micro

    This product is too heavy and too intrusive on the OS. Scans take way too long to complete and it misses items that other software detected. Immediately uninstalled this product and went with a competitor.

    Why would anyone need this. If you know what you're doing, you won't get a virus anyway. These anti-virus programs clog up computers and slow them to a crawl.

    Don't trust --- switch to a software they don't give you free to find out later it is hard to correct your mistake. Best Buy also sends out annoying emails begging you to install or renew the software you haven't installed

    Due to previous experience I would not have tried it if it was not free, and I wish I had not. Nothing has improved, it is a nuisance, and even removing it was a pain. Whatever you do, don't pay for it.

    I really hate how Best Buy bundled this product. I returned the laptop, but was charged for it. Such a waste of time to work through getting a refund.

    I only got it because I couldn't not. Any anti-virus with the level windows built in security is at is really just fancy malware.
