    difficulty w/install TMicro 1st time after yrs use

    Used, installed & recommended Trend Micro successfully for yrs & this is 1st time had intensive & time consuming difficulty installing renewed version. With on line & voice I talked w techs customer help desk. 1st voice guy wanted access to try to view issue. OK & then ...ooh it still doesn't install..... but I can continue & should get it installed for $189. I am a Lady, so my response was "no thank you". Tried again later & next voice guy (not disparaging guys but they factually were guys) was pretty much "beats me". I decided to take my computer in to my local Geek Squad if major changes were required. I wanted eyeball to eyeball with my "computer confidant specialist professional". I am leaving it here.... open...... what happened ..........

      If you are installing different versions of the software on top of one another, it might be worthwhile to use Trend Micro's un-installer, which can pick up and remove any remnants from the computer and ensure that the new version is being installed on a fresh system. trend-micro

    I switched from Norton to Trend when my antivirus was expiring. I have had so many advertisement tabs pop up that I purchased Norton again. I tried to uninstall the Trend and I thought it was removed but there was still a file on my C: drive that would not allow me to remove it. I called Trend support and their support did the exact same things I tried. She then tried to talk me into paying one of their third parties to remove the application.

    Watch out for outdated software at Best Buy!

    It was outdated and NOT supported by Trend Micro any more and could not be downloaded or installed. No where on the outside of the box did it have a date of warning that it may not be supported by Trend or an expiration date. Once I opened the box it was labeled "Best Buy Trend Micro Maximum Security 2018" Best Buy gave me a difficult time in returning this product because I had opened the box but after a lengthy conversation with management was able to return the product.

      You should have received an email from Best Buy with installation instructions and a link to the special Trend Micro website for Best Buy customers to download the version that will work with your subscription, Cole. If you did not, please contact Geek Squad support to get the information for your Trend Micro subscription. trend-micro

    When we were unable to install at home, my daughter took the product to Geeks at a local Best Buy with our computers. The employee said that we did not need it because we already had a plan that included security. He allowed us to return the newly purchased Trend Micro Security product and get a refund. He made sure we were connected before she left the store.

    It’s too soon to rate the products. Purchase was just over 3 weeks ago and so far the service for computer set up has been lousy. So I’m actually just beginning to even use the computer and it’s been rough going. The store does not have enough staff for adequate customer service.

      We're sorry to hear that you felt that your Trend Micro security software restricted the ways that you want to use your computer. Don't forget that you can always adjust the settings inside the program to identify websites that you know to be safe so that they will not be blocked in the future. trend-micro

    Poor Product/Poor Support = Bad Experience

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this online a week ago. The link to the Digital Library for downloading did not work. Called BB Customer service and the people were thoroughly unprofessional and rude. They were laughing at me and offered no help whatsoever. Contacted Trend Micro and a week after purchasing they provided me with a license key for downloading and installing the software. A day after installing I had to uninstall it because the software keeps shutting down my wi-fi connection every hour. Uninstalled the product and installed a different brand of AV software--end of problem. 2 Lessons learned: 1: Don't use Trend Micro 2: Don't purchase anything from Best Buy if one expects good customer service.

    Poor Performance with Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Purchased this product after another antivirus product proved incompatible with OS 10.15 Catalina. Worked well with Catalina to begin with, but when OS upgraded to 10.15.1 internet performance slowed to a crawl, I mean dial-up speed. After contacting tech support and downloading their "fix" internet performance still sub-par. I wasted my money on this product. It is not an acceptable product for a Mac's antivirus needs.
