  Trend Micro HouseCall

  Not that good.

  by: Zane77 on 13-Aug-2007 03:33:50 PM

  Pros: When I clicked on try it now I got redirected to trendmicro.com. Then I have to accept terms of use and launch house call. Next I have to choose java based kernel, or browser plug in kernel, to get it to download.

  After it downloads it has to update malware, greyware and spyware information. Now it starts scanning and while I'm waiting for the scan to finish, they offer a 30 day free trial of pc-cillin internet security.

  It scans all files and folders, and scans both c and d drives. After the scan finished it detected 15 cookies, cookies are harm less text files stored in my broswer.

  Cons: It did not detect any spyware malware or any other infections at all. The scan takes over one hour to finish the scan, and gets stuck on a lot of files while scanning.

  Trend Micro HouseCall

  THE BEST

  Pros: This fine scanner finds everything that the others don't. The only thing b etter would be Trend-Micro Pc-cillin Internet Security Suite. I prefer to use free Avast! with Housecall as a supplement. It finds all problems and even checks for Microsoft vulnerabilities. It'll refer you to a MS-Bulliton that needs to be addressed.
