Enhanced Trend Micro Installer icon xDDDDDDDD

 

[Paul.R]

They wanted to say "Enhanced Trend Micro Installer NSA icon"

 

[Bryan320]

It doesn't look like much was changed FYI beta installer is 438 MG

Trend Micro is a joke, it never brings really interesting updates, they are just mere suckers of personal information, instead of focusing on protection, they care more about what brand of coffee you drink.

Hello,
I did some quick PC Mark 10 Express tests with various AV/Suites.
Without AV the final score was 5095:
1. BullGuard IS 5098
2. Sophos Free 4 861 (Premium components disabled)
3. GData AV 4 778
4. Weboot SecureAnywhere 4 727
5. FortiClient Free 4 636
6. Trend Micro Maximum Security 4 393

Sophos performed suprisingly good, i think the reason for that is their HitmanPro.Alert component which slows down your computer. I have noticed this when i ran HitmanPro.Alert as standalone product.
Trend Micro result is not acceptable. I hope that the new 2021 version will perform better.
Strange that av-test.org gave Trend Micro 6/6 points for Performance.

AV-Test's performance test is terrible. It usually don't match with my personal experience. AV-Comparatives's performance tests always match with my own experience. AV-Comparatives use PC Mark like your own test.

Now i'm testing Trend Micro 2021 latest beta and it's performance is pretty good now. PC Mark 10 Express test final score went up over 400 points.
Especially application startup times are now much better and overall performance is good. I already found some bugs and submitted them to the Trend Micro beta labs.

Kind regards,

Good to know and it's great you also submitted bugs to them which should improve the product.

When i installed the beta the web protection did not seem to be actively blocking pages. Downloads were being blocked but web antivirus was not actively blocking pages like it should...

@Bryan320
For me the beta version blocked all malware hosted sites.
Also, remember to check \Program Files\Trend Micro\AMSP\Debug -root folder. For me the latest beta creates massive amount of .log and .bak files there. About 500mb / day. Log files are good for troubleshooting purposes, but 500mb per day ridiculous and trashes your SSD/HDD drive.
You need to edit AmspConfig.ini found in AMSP folder and set DebugLogAMSPServiceStart to 0.

First, copy-paste AmspConfig.ini to your Desktop. Edit it and then copy-paste it back to AMSP -folder and reboot. If that does not work, temporarily disable TM protection and try to save that .ini file again. After reboot, there's only event log file, which is about 50kb in size. I already reported that "bug" to them. They should add a feature how to deal/delete those big log/bak files. For example, weekly auto-delete or restrict log files size to 10mb etc...

Also Fraud Buster did not worked when i tested it. It gave me an error, i reported that too. Also there were some problem with window focus etc.

Its still in beta stage so those bugs are understandable.

BullGuard is an interesting option to think about if you are a gamer.

Hello,
When i open TM 2021 latest beta User Interface, it uses UPK://titanium -folder to run the UI.
What is that UPK? Fast googling resulted something to do with Oracle?
Anyone knows whats that UPK is?

Kind regards,

Trendmicro is good against fileless malware unlike norton thats all reputation based.

Not sure about Norton .
But SEP bloodhound / sonar isn't too bad in my testing even though it's far from perfect.
It was able to stop some very nasty scripts that Kaspersky had failed to detect.
Not sure about trend micro as I haven't tested it.

If you can add the following to your test it would be great .
Kaspersky free ,SEP unmanaged , comodo FW cruelsister settings,wise vector.

That's why we need lots of testing on different specs / OS versions.
In order to get a good estimate of performance.
