McAfee or Trend Micro antivirus. Which is better?

I need a new antivirus program and these are my two choices, McAfee and Trend Micro. Which is better. If this helps, this computer is used at home. It is a Dell XPS 420.

McAfee or Trend Micro antivirus. Which is better?

In my view McAfee is better as it gives better online protection and decent firewall against trojans and other spyware. one more feature is that McAfee will not make your system slow while running and scanning. the best thing is it is free and you can just resgister your own copy in your name and get free downloads, program updates a well as viruys removal tools free from their large database. I am using McAfee and having no trouble of virus or spywares whatsoever at all. I will suggest using one more utility called Ad-Aware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

This will help you remove unwanted spywares and addons that misc web pages install on your system without your knowledge just bu asking you to runa script to open a webpage.

Any other problem if you ever have just get in touch. I am InformationSecurity student and practitioner based in UK

I've used Norton, Trend Micro's PC-Cillin, and Mcafee. First off I don't like Norton because of the simple fact that the dat files don't update on their own, you've got to do it manually. So if you forget, your dat files are out of date. Trend Micro has been considered to be one of the best by consumer reports but not exceedingly user friendly. I've loaded it up on friends computers that aren't as computer literate as I and they've always called me to ask how to do this or that with it. If you're looking for something easy to use with little to no action from you then I'd have to say Mcafee. Webroot is what allot of stores push on their customers but the protection is barely adequate from what I've seen. And to give you an idea of how much I'm into computers, all of my home systems (and those of my friends) are built from scratch by me. Hope that helps.
After extensively researching all anti-virus products I can say the best anti-virus is Kaspersky, though NOD32 is better for computer experts. Kaspersky is the best all-round anti-virus program. NOD32 runs faster and has less software conflicts but as a consequence the user interface is difficult to use.

The most popular free anti-virus programs (AVG and Avast) have poor detection rates (82.82%, 87.46% respectively). Norton is notoriously bloated and takes forever to perform full systems scans.

It has been proven ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky are better than the best sellers Norton and McAfee (see the consumersearch source for reviews of the top anti-virus products). See recent tests for yourself at av-comparatives.org.

Trend Micro Antivirus is a viable alternative if you're having a lot of trouble with software conflicts. Trend Micro rounds out the top three.
