    How good is the 15 month Trend Micro PC-cillin InternetSecurity that comes with many of the Dell laptops ?

    Would any one recommend taking it off and getting AVG, kaspersky, etc. instead ?

    Thanks guys.

    it's so good at it's default settings, that i have to quickly change the settings to allow me to go to certain web pages, etc, or it blocks you to protect you from yourself>> lets say you wanted to go to PhazeDLL to look to look around around out of curiousty>> it would block you. After you learn to modify it's settings to satisfy your needs, it's really good. I have tried them all(AV's and Inter. Sec) and to protect my sister, who is another dumb blond :), I put this on her laptop.

    Give it a try........

    i would pass for something more user-friendly and more secure. try the latest NOD32 or Kaspersky. both have Internet Security Suite programs that include firewall and anti-spyware programs in addition to the anti-virus feature.
