2008 Trend Micro Internet Security is NOT is compatible with Windows
Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3

I have deleted all of the old 2007 and new 2008 Trend Micro Internet
Security virus software from my computer, because of the multiple
alert messages, that I was having with their new 2008 upgraded
software.

If the Trend Micro Personal Firewall and the Unauthorized Changes
Prevention features main components do not work with the new service
packs from Microsoft, why are they still selling this non-working
software to the public?

Also, I don't want to wait until sometime in February 2008, for them
to released a "working" version of their Trend Micro Internet
Security, that is compatible with Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP
SP3. I don't want to remove any new Microsoft service packs, or
uninstall the 2008 Trend Micro program installed in my computer and
re-
install the PC-cillin Internet Security 2007 back into my computer,
and wait again.... until the release of their new 2008 working
version.

I was receiving these error messages: Trend Micro Internet Security
Message: Your Unauthorized Change Prevention Service has shut down.
Try restarting Trend Micro Internet Security to restore Your
Unauthorized Change Prevention Service. If the problem persists,
please restart your computer. If you continue to receive this warning,
please contact Technical Support.

I keep getting this "Alert" message: "Alert Message: Trend Micro
Internet Security. Unable to recognize the software configuration.
Restart your computer to restore the missing information. If the
problem persists, please contact technical support."

I have been working on their error alert messages and replies, since
12/24/07. After eight or more emails back and forth....and multiple
number of lines of their instructions, that's it!! I do not want to
screw up my computer, I do not want more messages, screen shots,
replies, deletes, uninstalls and then reinstalling any more files...in
my computer, hard drive or registry.

I asked Trend Micro, that I want a refund ($40.45) for this
subscription.

They replied:
I am sorry to inform you, but we can no longer refund the Trend Micro
program that you have purchased from us. Refund application should be
requested within 30 days from the date of purchase. Refunds after 30
days are given in a case to case basis. This is after the all attempts
to fix the issue failed and the case has been forwarded to the Level 2
support.

Please provide us with the following so that we can forward this to
the Level 2 support

In order for us to have a detailed picture of the problem, please
include in your reply, screen shot(s) of the message(s)/
notification(s).

Sorry, you are in the wrong on this one. SP3 for XP, nor SP1 have been
officially released to the public. Trend Micro is under no obligation to
support beta products.

Even when they are released, you must give these companies some time to
update their products.

Neither of your SP's are released products; they are simply "candidates"
for release, othewise known as stupidly named BETA versions. Had you
read when you downloaded them, you would have known that. Get rid of
them and wait for them to be released; THEN download/install them.
Makes no sense to be using unreleased SW with anything other than a test
bed.

And you now know EXACTLY why neither SP3 for XP or SP1 for Vista have
come out of Beta yet! If you do this kind of thing, download and
install Beta products, you NEED to understand that tons of programs
will not be compatable. NEVER install Beta products on your main
machine or any machine that needs to run consistently! AND if you care
about your data and don't have a really good backup don't even think
about installing a Beta product!!!!
