TrendMicro Internet Security 2007 conflict.

[GideonD]

I've recently been sent a free upgrade from TrendMicro for Internet Security 2007 from PC-Cillain 2006. I've got several issues I've found with it. According to a poster on Wilders Security Forums, he had contact Trend Micro about these issues, which include high memory and CPU usage and problems with their spyware applications, and their tech support told him to uninstall TrendMicro, delete it's program folder, then undo immunizations for Spybot and uninstall Spybot before reinstalling Trend Micro IS2007. Evidently this resolved his issues. Are there any known conflicts between these two products? I never had any issues with their 2006 software.

There's absolutely no reason to uninstall Spybot-S&D; if some parts would conflict, just those parts could be disabled.

Will refrain from any more words right now, since this topic is just bad for my stomach

I've reverted 2 out or 3 PCs back to 2006 now anyway. I was finding way too much slowdown and too many issues with 2007. I left one just to play with and see if I can work out any issues or if TrendMicro will fix any issues in a timely manner. Thanks for the input.

Trend Micro PC Cillin ???? had a conflict with some other security software a couple of years ago, I think we finally concluded TM-PCC was just trying to displace the other software ... we dumped Trend Micro and are now quite happy with AVG

The issue apparently is with the immunization feature, I've been having fun and games with this for a few days now.
TM's real time spyware scanner detects all the immunization entries as infections, as well as spybots host list, as well as their 'on-demand' scanner.
The support guy said I could re-install spybot after I had installed TM. Just about to see how that goes...

Interesting, that's kind of a massive false positive by TM then! I remember a few years ago that happened by MS AntiSpyware (?) as well... they just detect the presence of the entry then, not whether it's declared as "allowed" or "denied" then. I though we would've passed those superficial times already

just new to the forum, I think after reading all of your posts I will leave TM 2006 installed instead of 2007. that seems to work fine. I will contact TM and let them know that it's not nice to be asked to uninstall another perfectly good product, so that they don't have to deal with the problem they obviously created with their new version. thanks for the input.

All Trend is doing is searching for key words and since Spybot list all the bad and evil sites out there in the hosts. file to put them to invaild address Trend thinks it is ADWARE_MEMWATCHER. Just ignore the message.

For those of you having slow down problems with Trend Micro PC-cillin 2007 version 15.3 was just released which adds Vista support and may help with speed issues.

You can see the KB article on slow down here http://esupport.trendmicro.com/suppo...tID=EN-1033903 and download the update here http://esupport.trendmicro.com/suppo...tentID=1034407

I'm not sure why Trend Micro doesn't have PC-cillin automatically update itself to this new version.

Two weeks ago i downloaded Trendmicro IS 2007 they newest release from site. When installing it makes you uninstall Spybot, have done this a couple times. The company i work for only uses Trendmicro for some reason (not a fan) and i am a faithful Spybot user. It seems only to ask you to remove Spybot when using the newest downloaded version, not the version that is on the CD's that we are getting in.

Can someone confirm this, and if so will installing Spybot after TM have any negative effects on either software.

Thanks.
