    I didn't activate it. I went for McAfee instead. Not fair for me to review it since I do not know if it actually protects my computer.

    It is like a virus. Takes over your entire computer and if you do not upgrade and pay for after the free trial it crashes your computer and it is a pain to uninstall. Do not get it ever and definitely do not install it to you nice new computer.

    A virus software thats a virus. Do not use this product. Just use free items like Malwarebytes and CCleaner. They have trials but you can just re-download them each time for free...

    Stick with windows defender if you want to feel safe. It was made for windows. This was free as well, but a pain and you have to pay after trial.

    I use ESET as that is the best on the market. This is horrible and would mess up the computer. Not worth it even though it was free with the computer. Too bad they didn't add an accessory instead of this.

      Your purchase from Best Buy gave you 2 different codes, johnny. You will need to use the number starting with "TOEF" to install your software. trend-micro

      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, KTV16. You should have an email from Best Buy with the link. trend-micro

    When I picked up my I asked where my virus protection was. Employee had no clue and said maybe they email it. He said wait a couple days and if you don’t receive it come back. It’s annoying that they don’t know what’s going on

      You should have received a Trend Micro package at the time of purchase and there should be an email sent to the address you provided that will include your activation key and a link to the download file. If you haven't received either, we recommend you call Geek Squad support. Good luck, Sean. trend-micro

    This came with my Mac, but have no interest or intention of installing on my machine. A pretty dumb add on for a Mac. BestBuy figure out something more useful as a "bonus with purchase"
