Glad I didn't buy it!
I'm considering NOD32, but it seems more expensive.

I recently upgraded from PC-cillin IS 2006 to 2007 and straight away my PC
slowed.
The culprit is the spyware process that scans everything you do on your PC.
It is called PcScnSrv.exe.
Even when opening MS Word this process hogs over 98% of the CPU. Opening
html documents etc etc etc.
I contacted Trend Micro and they said it was probably a bad file download
and they suggested that I install the latest build 1429 (I had 1329). This
did not help. So I now suspend the process and don't have the problem.
Probably not a good idea but TM haven't answered my request to explain
exactly what the PcScnSrv.exe process does and what vulnerabilities I have
by suspending the process.

I have had Pc-cillin for many years and have been very happy with it up to
now. It will be great once TM can solve this annoying problem. A search of
the internet shows a lot of other disgruntled customers because of this
issue.
