Another pop-up appeared that said Smart Scan and scanned our computer for malware (although it didn’t scan every file to do that, we would’ve had to use Full Scan, which we describe more below Trend Micro did not make that clear, initially). Updates aside, we started testing Trend Micro in the Overview section by clicking on the button that said Scan Now. We’re not sure why this process was so clunky, but it’s something that Trend Micro definitely needs to work on. During this process, we had to enter our computer keychain multiple times, at least three times in the first hour even after installing the app. Once we clicked on Activate, we got a new window that said “unable to contact Trend Micro” due to a lost Internet connection, it claimed, although the Internet was working fine for us on Chrome and iMessage. Clicking through those windows, we got yet another signal to activate Trend Micro Antivirus to get the “latest protection”. Once we opened it back up, we were asked, once again to turn on camera and microphone protection and folder shield, both of which we had already enabled. One slightly annoying thing was the fact that we had to get security updates as soon as we opened Trend Micro for the first time shouldn’t a completely new application be as up to date as possible?

How did it work? Using Trend Micro: Our Experience Then, we were brought to the actual antivirus portion of the app. Once we installed the app, we immediately got pop-ups for camera and microphone protection and a folder shield, which we checked off. Note: We recommend not having any web browsers open when you’re installing Trend Micro, as you’ll have to shut them down to activate certain services.
