I decided on Trend becuase Trend comes packaged with several boards/CPUs. If Intel and Asus trust Trend, so do I.

I wasn't certain if Trend looked for spyware but it sems they do but...
they don't seem to scan for adware-cookies.

I did run comparisons of shareware I got at download.com. There is plenty of marketing involved, ie you'll do a scan and then find out that you have spyware and the software will tell you you have to buy the software right now to get rid of parasites et al. I think they might have a liberal view of what spyware is to scare you into buying.

Tests... Trend runs in the background so it picks stuff up right away
Trend - 0
Spy bouncer found 33 infected "items"
Easy Spyware Killer - 1

I use Trend and like it alot. Runs pretty well with XP (it didn't run well on my old W98 machine) and doesn't hog too much in the way of resources.

Just because the software come free bundled with your board doesn't mean the companies involved think it's the best, just that it makes the best business sense for them- this could be for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with whether or not they actually think that software is the most effective.

Regardless, Trend is consistently in the top 5 and you got it free- those sound like 2 very good reasons to use it.

This topic would make a good poll- why don't you add one?

Some examples of choices you could give:

Norton
McAfee
PC-cillan (Trend)
AVG
Panda
NOD32
Avast
Other (explain)
Nothing (explain why you're an idiot)

I use Norton. It's done me well but I can't say whether it's the best, just the one that has the largest market share.

When it comes time to get new A/V software I won't be stuck on Norton- I'll check out the reviews and get the best-rated one, whether it's free or not. Experience has taught me not to skimp on computer security.

i have been using trial versions for 7 months... norton just expired and i found that to rape the pc resources.. i have just installed the avg 7.0 trial and that blends in to this pc very well.. boots fast, loads fast and runs fast..

unless i can find a crack for a new av real soon it looks like i'll be buying the mcafee internet security pack.. bout 60 bucks...

any probs with that?

I'm a big Trend fan too.

I wonder how many copies they actually sell. Copies of it are with every mainboard bundle going...

[Toby]

Where can I get Trend?

[The Lemon]

If you don't happen to have it on your mainboard installation disk - or a friend's - copies can be found on suprnova, kazaa and all the other usual places.
