    My Dell XPS 1330 came w/ 15 months of Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security. I haven't heard much good or bad about this software. I'm debating whether I should dump it for the free version of AVG or wait till the subscription runs out before I switch. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I would stick with it, why waste the subscription? Also, reviews haven't been as bad with trend micro compared to others like mcafee or norton.

    Hey, sorry to hi-jack but it'skinda related...

    I've also got Trend Micro Internet Security, which worked fine until now:
    When I want to scan my computer (drive C), it 1st does a vulnerability check and then goes directly to 99% completion of the drive F scan (and I've got no drive F).
    I did all the updates.

    Does anyone knows how to fix this?
