out of 10
- The good: Includes a firewall and an antispam component to weed out junk mail; updated interface makes it easier to locate and configure program settings.
- The bad: Nagging pop-up reminders for product registration and subscription services.
- The bottom line: PC-cillin 2004 includes a firewall and antispam tools--features not found in Norton AntiVirus 2004 or McAfee VirusScan 8.0.

Performance of PC-cillin Internet Security 2004
In our CNET Labs tests, PC-cillin 2004 caused less drag on system performance than Norton AntiVirus 2004 but wasn't as efficient as McAfee's VirusScan 8.0 . Still, PC-cillin scanned our 1GB drive much faster than either McAfee and Norton. Here are our test results:

In past VirusBulletin tests, Trend Micro's PC-cillin has been tested on Windows systems six times since November 2001 and earned its coveted VB 100 percent title five times. By comparison, Norton AntiVirus has been tested on Windows systems six times since 2000 and passed each time; McAfee VirusScan has been tested and earned the coveted VB 100 percent title only once. Previous versions of PC-cillin have also been certified by the independent antivirus testing laboratories at West Coast Checkmark, ICSA Labs, and AV-test.org.
