>Buggy, buggy, buggy. Made too many critical systems crash in my experience. It used to be a great product until this year. Mostly the 2009 version is just awful and conflicts with too many programs, produces too many blue screens of death, and actually will halt some systems and force them to have to be rebuilt. Also had problems with their updates not catching enough of the viruses out there. From what I have seen on some very large network systems, it is now the worst product. .

There goes your Trend Micro spokeswoman gig ;-)
