I have been having trouble with this trend A/V. I have always had trouble with updates. Sometimes I would have to re-boot to get it to complete updates. Now it won't update at all. It downloads but it just won't install. My subscription expires in about a couple of weeks so I decided to go ahead and use another product. I got Defender Pro 2009 15 in 1. When I tried to uninstall Trend, a prompt came up and said a serious error had occurred and I couldn't uninstall this product. and to open Trends uninstall folder and proceed from there. I tried that to but it still wouldn't uninstall. I was reading the instructions of Defender Pro and it said that I could put in their CD-ROM and when if I had another A/V installed it would prompt me to click uninstall. I thought I would give that a try. I put in the CD-ROM and when I tried to run it it gave me a message that said my OS wasn't compatible with their product and I had to have XP SP2 or higher or have Vista. Well I have Vista. I was wondering if Trend was gumming up the works. If anyone could give me help and advise I should would certainly appreciate it. Here's snapshot of my system

Have you tried to reinstall the Trend Micro. Sometimes if a person will reinstall that type of program, then you are able to unistall it.
Why, I have no idea, just know that sometimes it will work.

Have you tried uninstalling it with the free Revo Uninstaller?

Dear wolfgang1,
Revo should do the trick! Wow,6GB RAM,you and i are buddies as i too have(6GBRam) heeded brett888 advise and did not listen to Elvandil! A bit of over-kill! Elvandil pasted me once for having even 4GB Ram! Don't expect only carrots here because learning needs a lot of stick! What say?

PS: spare the rod and spoil the child!

Thanks guys, I'll try Revo tomorrow. Anyone know why the Defender Pro says my OS is not compatible? It says that I must at least have XP SP2 or Vista. I have vista. Anyway here's the message I recieved when I tried to uninstall Trend.

The software removal program has suffered a serious error. Please open the installation folder (or the CD-ROM, if any) and launch the Trend Mico Diagnostic Tool Kit to remove the software.

I used the CD_ROM and it still wouldn't uninstall.

Dear wolfgang1,
Hearty congrats! Tell us what you are going to do with the spare Moolah? Buy a nice Bose speaker system and listen to music on Winamp (Pro)? A better idea would be to give a treat to your bosom girl/boy friend! What configuration was (other than you mentioned) on the comp. you won! hewee used to win a lot of prizes! He's a winner thru and thru'.

Extra moolah? What's that? In this day and age extra moolah goes to the mortage, food gas.etc.....There was nothing on this computer when I got it. Only Roxio and some trial versions software. It didn't even have Word.

Now that's not fair on the part of the org. that gave you the computer. Hope they gave u the OS (Vista-oh-No!). I can understand about MS Office 2007 (pricey) not there,but if you are a computer specialist or a finance analyst etc, that'll be the first thing you need,don't u? A winner is always a winner, so thumbs up again to u!

Oh it's got Vista. I like the OS system for the most part. I can't seem to backup my files like I am supposed to and there's no recovery disc. The files won't back up no matter what I do or what kind of disc I use.

Have you finally tried Revo?

wolfgang1 · 08-Jul-2009, 10:09 AM **#14**

Yeah just tried Revo......Trend didn't even come up on the programs list, yet Trends main console says it working properly and up to date.
