Trend Micro anti-virus
I was really less then impressed when I bought Norton A/V some years ago to find that it was one serious resource hog. My computer literally slowed to a crawl when it ran an a/v scan of my hard drive. Not impressive. Trend Micro though I noticed on a friends computer was quite fast and had a far smaller hit resource wise. Its a shame that most people only go with the big brand names in the a/v market. Trend Micro is actually quite nice. You’d think the larger companies would make a serious effort at making a better product.

Mr. Parker,
I just found your blog, from reading the security-forums and have been consumed with reading every article so I apologize I’m commenting on an older one.
I just completed reviewing Trend Micro’s antivirus product and I agree it’s solid, fast, and doesn’t hog your resources like the Norton does. I posted these results on my website this week, and compare Trend Micro to seven other brands.

I agree that Trend seems to offer one of the best antivirus solutions at the moment.
It is also one of the few companies that have a truely corporate product offering, in terms of the use of Trend Control Manager which is capable of overseeing and managing all of the various Trend antivirus products you have deployed throughout your company (eg on workstations, servers, email, gateway, etc).
