It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

Today I’ll wrap up the video series with a quick test of Trend Micro Internet Security 2015. Although used at the Enterprise level as well as by Home users (a current darling at Wilders) I personally have never been impressed. Quite frankly I only did an initial run of TM just for personal chuckles, never expecting to do a video of it; then while varying the UAC levels I noticed something unusual.

To change the action of UAC for individual applications is nothing unknown and can be easily done from the Admin prompt. But I don’t ever remember seeing a legitimate application decrease system-wide (without any documentation and/or alerts) a previously User set environmental variable and also suppress any notification from that variable. I thought it rather outrageous, and perhaps so will you (it is definitely more egregious than some program asking to change your Home Page to Yahoo).

That being said, I hope you have enjoyed the videos and I hope to be back in a few months (should have been a few weeks but it seems some people don’t understand “Please don’t hold any Press Conferences until we have things in place”. Perhaps it should have been said in Chinese).

Thanks for these tests, almost all security solutions didnt pass your zero day scriptor :p


Trend Micro is nice but bugged as hell, they need to do some serious rework in their engine and protection modules.
