Opinions, please, on Trend Micro Internet Security Pro. Is it a resource hog? I have permission to replace it with MSE if desirable.

TIA.

1170385 2011-01-17 02:14:00 Yes, very much a resource hog. You should replace it with NOD32 if you can. :) wratterus (105)

Take trend out, and you should see a speed increase right away.

1170387 2011-01-17 02:50:00 Thanks, guys, suspected as much.

Mind you, removing HEAPS of startups, and uninstalling the ACER crapware, made a HUGE difference to its ready-to-use time!

It also had no system event logs since May 2009! Had to delete the old .evtx file to get it logging again. Never seen this before.

It actually came to me because it was beeping at startup and displayed some weird video effects. e.g. in the inbox the highlight shading moved up and down the mail list!!
Naturally, it hasn't done this here! And the system event viewer was no use. The Application log showed an Ati2evxx.exe error but no idea whether this was related to the beeping problem.
