    I have been using trend micro for the past 2 years and i love it but its time to renew again and i read i very negative review of 2007 on pcmag.com ( http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2024964,00.asp) where they also prasied zone alarms as the best. Trend micro has never let anything throught that caused major problems but then again i have only used it at my house or my fiances appartment. If i plan to use my new laptop more at school would this introduce me to more potetnial things trend micro could miss, i really don't think trend micro is as bad as the review made it out to be, any thoughts

    I agree with Zone Alarm. It probably has the least hiccups and 'why the f*** doesn't it work' of any firewall out there.

    Interesting...I don't think Trend Micro will be that bad...PCMag is like CNET. They're really biased, and don't give scores accordingly. I'd say Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2007 should be fine.
