Pros
Nice interface: Maximum Security's gray-white background, expandable menus, and oversized buttons stay in line with Trend Micro's minimalist design. A large Start button performs a quick scan, and there's a drop-down menu to select full or custom scans.
XP tested and 7 and 8 secured: Trend Micro's prowess was praised by AV-Test in its recent comparison of Internet security suites that still support Windows XP. The corporate version was ranked as the top-performing suite in AV-Test's XP comparison tests, while the consumer. ore recent strains of malware have started to contain countermeasures to disable popular protection programs or have functions that disable/replace aspects of a computer's operating system. What this signifies is that it'll more than likely take a long time to completely clean your system if it is infected with malware, and that you may probably anticipate that some of the cleaning tools might not work the way you expect.

Comprehensive online protection: True to its name, Maximum Security aims to protect all aspects of your online life and prevent problems before they happen, through features like password filling, site-reputation checks, a privacy scanner, and social networking protections. Parental controls allow you to lock down Net activity and programs based on your family computer usage and habits. Password filling mean you don't have to remember authentications, and site reputation keeps you away from the more questionable domains.
Cons
No prescan: Trend Micro's installation process is usually pretty quick; however, if the system is already under duress from malware attacks and takeovers, setup can be painfully slow. Without the prescan ability like that found in other antivirus suites, installing on a troubled system and performing a cleaning operation is more time consuming.
Multiple packages: The installer for Maximum Security is separate from the Password Manager. To get the website security check and password filling to work, additional extensions/add-ons and a toolbar are required post-installation. Uninstallation of the Password Manager is also separate from Maximum Security removal.
