was just wondering what your opinion is of TrendMicros PcCillin Security Suite as compared to Etrust AV?
I've been using it for the last 4 years (PcCillin variants) and have not been infected...... 'yet'.
Reason that I'm inquiring is that it's not a 'huge' resource hog, but it does suck up some and was looking for something similar that would use less RAM.

Trend Micro used to be the best antivirus period, but over time it became bloated and started to take more and more resources and have more and more components. I have tried the new version of trend micro and etrust is lighter on resources and has just as good of a scanner. The trendmicro antispyware is junk as is the firewall. I say give etrust a try and if you don't like it(you will) than you can just switch back(you won't).
The MS 1-year trial download I have is v7.0.6.7 and is for one time only and when I logged in I couldn't find anyway of getting the latest version v7.0.7 without purchasing it. Whatsmore on one of their support pages it stated something about an engine vulnerability in older versions.
I use Avast! Etrust EZ Antivirus Is good but I feel no need in paying for it.
In the many years I've used the now old and dead freeware InoculateIT PE from many years ago which became eTrust EZ Antivirus I've never had a virus, worm, or trojan that I know on two systems.
Not to knock Avast, but it has always given me false positives, and the default GUI which looks like a media player is a big turn-off - and yeah I already know it can be disabled.
