The custom configuration options are also useful, which are a step above competing antivirus solutions, which are limited to only a switch for the URL blocking to be turned on or off, but this one includes a 'protection strength' slide bar, that can be increased to block more aggressively, or vice versa. One feature we particularly appreciated was the URL filtering, which blocked many malicious URLs when tested.

Too bad that it also gave a false alarm when it encountered several legitimate technical tools, such as the Nirsoft app, but if you've used security software before, you'll know that this is a fairly pervasive problem. Antivirus+ Security is thorough at what it does, as it seeks out malware. Measured scan times were somewhat lower than average during the testing process, but that's not necessarily a problem any program can run itself at ludicrous speed when scanning, and come up empty. On the other hand, we give it high scores when it comes to usability, and this will be preferred for those that just want a simple scan from their antivirus program. Unfortunately, total control of the process is not offered, as we are missing Avast’s options for adding other scan types, or controlling all the fine points of the process. Also the scanning efforts can be targeted to specific drives or folders.

Scanning options continue to be straightforward, with simplified choices to do a quick, full or custom scan.

Some experts will seek even more control, but for those with no desire to get down in the weeds, Trend Micro's autopilot certainly has enough control for most users.

The confusing technical jargon gets avoided, and options are presented in easy to understand language, such as 'Prevent programs on portable drives from launching automatically' or 'Check if programs try to make unauthorized changes to system settings which could threaten your security'. The Settings dialog follows the theme of simplicity as well.

Additionally, there is a useful option to customize the console via a choice of a background image. The interface is clean and visually inviting, including animated icons, a scan button featured prominently, with your security status clearly indicated, as well as text captions and piles of tooltips.

In fact, we only found this for ourselves after we looked into the Outlook interface, specifically for an elusive toolbar, with subsequently the answer then making itself known via the Settings dialog.įocusing less on these minor details, and in the ‘big picture’ view, Trend Micro is quite simple to install, has an effective core antivirus engine, coupled with a full 30-day trial allowing adequate time if the subscription is right for your needs prior to purchase. Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security smartly contains a spam filter, but unfortunately it is not enabled by default after installation, and further the interface does not highlight it at all. We started off doing some initial exploring, and with the default settings, it did not live up to expectations.

This antivirus solution is admirable how it works unobtrusively, and you can forget that you have it installed. With the program fully installed, it quickly faded into the background, with the only reminder as an icon in the tray of our system. With the conclusion of installation, users are prompted for their email address to be sent product news and updates, and this step in our experience was entirely optional (as it should be), as we left the box blank and the installer completed uneventfully. Installation is pretty painless, with a simple download, followed by an automated setup process.

We like that the trial provided covers a full 30 days, which is plenty of time to make up your mind if you want a full subscription. The trial is actually for the full featured Trend Micro Maximum Security suite, but this interface is very similar to the lower tiered product, and provide the insight if Antivirus+ Security will meet your needs. Instead, head to the Free Tools link at the top of the page, and go to the Free Trials area for the truly free trial.

We think the company is probably hoping that users go ahead and purchase a license without further searching, so be wary. It’s unfortunate that the Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security web page tucks away the free trial link, and rather pushes the '30-day money-back guarantee' option.
