Trend Micro Internet Security Yearly Subscription
Tonja Witcraft
In Trend micro (USA) website _us/forHome/products/internet-security.html There's these following Trend Micro products: Antivirus for Mac, Antivirus+Security, Internet Security, Maximum Security, and Premium Security Suite.
Since I am based in New Zealand and I got the Trend Micro Internet Security (Windows OS) and it's listed in the (USA) website. Why the NZ website of Trend Micro is not showing the Internet Security product on their website?
Uh interesting! I didn't get any emails regarding Trend Micro Internet Security will be discontinued on Australia/New Zealand? So does that mean even though I have an active subscription of Trend Micro Internet Security (17.0.1257) is that still a supported version or a discontinued version? It will be much helpful to me if you can give me the source or a web link of when you discontinued Trend Micro Internet Security for AUS/NZ?
Also just to get some information, since I have Trend Micro Internet Security is it possible to transfer my license to Premium Security Suite. Let's say I changed my license from Internet Security to Premium Security Suite and when I go to my Trend Micro Account it only show that I have Premium Security Suite?
@reine_roque : Thanks for your mail. I will keep on using my Trend Micro Internet Security. Why did this program got discontinued by Trend Micro? Any links regarding why Trend Micro Internet Security got discontinued will be helpful. Thanks.

Trend Micro is great at blocking malicious websites and has great safe banking tools. But it's missing some of the features you might expect from a security suite (firewall, webcam protection, backup), and the tools you get are often underwhelming.
Trend Micro's consumer security range looks a lot like most of the competition: a single Windows-only antivirus product here, a more powerful internet security suite over there, and a high-end product with extra functionality and support for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. In fact, it's among the best Mac antivirus today.
Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security doesn't come with very much, In fact, it will only protect one Windows machine and doesn't give you the option to add more. But for $19.95, it's not a bad place to start if you want to give it a fair chance.
There are other basic antivirus programs, like Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, that come in about the same price point, gives you more devices to protect, and a few extra security tools. If you decide you want to continue using Antivirus+ Security after the first year, the price will increase to $39.95 each year you want to renew.
Trend Micro Internet Security also only protects Windows computers, but it does give you the option to protect three of them with a single license. There are a few extra tools thrown in, too like parents control, a system optimizer, and social media protections.
Trend Micro Maximum Security adds a password manager to its subscription and lets you protect five devices. Unlike Antivirus+ Security and Internet Security, Maximum Security works on most devices including Mac, Android, and iOS mobile devices, and on Chromebooks.
The top-of-the-line Trend Micro Premium Security supports ten devices and adds an unlimited VPN, alerts if your details appear in a data breach, and 24/7 tech support and 'emergency assistance', including remote assistance to remove a virus.
Getting started with Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security is easy. There's a trial build available, installation is largely automatic, and you don't even have to provide your email address to try it out. (You're prompted to enter your email address at the end of the process to get product news and updates, but this is optional. I left the box blank, and the installer didn't complain.)
The Trend Micro Antivirus+ Security installation grabs more system resources than most, with more than 1GB of data and executable files, a further 1GB in an Installer folder, seven background processes, and assorted other drivers.
That generally isn't good for speeds, and sure enough, AV-Comparatives' October 2022 Performance Test placed Trend Micro 6th out of 17. Essentially that means you can expect to see some slowdown when using this program, especially on the first launch of an application, or when webpages are first loading.
I completed my first checks by simulating the type of attacks malware might use to try and disable Trend Micro's protection, including deleting files, killing processes, stopping services, unloading drivers and more. The results weren't bad at all.
It managed to damage the package enough that its interface refused to load, even after a reboot. But the underlying engine remained intact, and still detect and blocked all types of threats. And once Antivirus+ Security was reinstalled, the interface returned.
For example, one test checks whether an antivirus can be silently uninstalled (don't laugh: amazingly, some can.) Antivirus+ Security didn't just block the attempt, it closed down my testing tool and raised a notification to warn me: the best response I've seen.
Trend Micro's Windows interface has a friendly and appealing look. There are large, animated icons, a big scan button, a clear description of your security status, along with text captions and tooltips to make it clear how everything works. You can even customize the console with a new background image.
Checking the Settings dialog revealed the same focus on clarity, with nothing too intimidating present. Instead of the usual technical jargon, options are spelled out in detail and in plain English, like "Prevent programs on portable drives from launching automatically" or "Check if programs try to make unauthorized changes to system settings which could threaten your security".
