    | David, as much as I like Trend's product and have confidence in their
    | AV/AT detection, their ability to reliably detect adware and spyware,
    | from my experience, is abysmal. It's tough to even give them credit for
    | trying. Any users of Trend's Internet Security products would be wise to
    | uncheck the box to detect spyware and stick to fairly reliable spyware
    | products from developers like Lavasoft, Webroot, Giant, etc.

    Yes, well that is why both TrendMicro Sysclean and Ad-aware SE have been suggested top scan
    the platform.
