Trying to renew PC-cillin virus pattern updates

darrylp · 12-20-2005, 03:32 PM

Hello

My PC-cillin virus pattern updates subscription expires on the 6th Jan 2006 and I've been trying to renew the subscription.

After 11 emails to Trend Micro and 9 phone calls I'm desperate.

All they want me to do is upgrade to the 2006 version which I'm sure is very good but it's not what I want now.

Does anybody know how I renew please?

Regards

Darryl

Thanks, I've followed your suggestion but all they offer is what appears to be a very cheap upgrade to the 2006 version.

I'll nevertheless proceed and appreciate your help.

I read reviews on Trend Micro: PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006, it is very bad. The antivirus is good, but the firewall failed to stealth ports, it let in intruders, and it even though itself was a threat. The AntiSpyware on it, was even worse. It completly missed 5 out of 11 spyware and only removed 1 out of the 11. I recommend getting something else.

So far unless I upgrade my 2005 version to the Trend Micro: PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006 version it appears I cannot renew my anti-virus components (virus definitions).
