TrendMicro and McAffee Products are PUPS?

I just installed and ran spybot on my son's new computer and read the tip of the day.

It said something about TrendMicro and McAffee products being malware or PUPS.

I would really love more information of this. At least the full version of the tip of the day. due to space linmitations, the text of the message was trunacated and replaced with several . . .'s

I've always felt TrendMicro was malware. I have a small business client or two that use it and there stuff at least sucks. won't uninstall, connects to the internet without permission or warning etc. Several characteristics of malware.

I need some evidence before I go to them and level the third strike against their lame network guy though.

Thanks

now that I've written a post about it, I'm seeing a similar partial message whenever I hover over the word, "TrendMicro"

Please, gimme the dirt!
