Installation and activation are now complete. Trend Micro is the only anti-virus software package I tested that requires users to do this. Users must create an account with Trend Micro in order to activate their software. Next is activation, which requires navigation through several prompts. After clicking next, the software is installed this took about five minutes on our test PC. The next prompt allows users to choose from a regular or custom install we chose the former, since that is what most will opt for.
After accepting the license agreement, users must enter the serial number provided to them directions are provided to locate it. Trend Micro’s installation starts with double-clicking the installer file from the company’s website.
