Trend Micro

The VPN bit was the detail that caught me, you get a decent amount of data a month on the public wifi at the gym. Signed up on my phone on the bus. Works well enough, tops out a bit slower than I'd like on some servers but that's fine.

Looked at three different options before settling on this, mostly on price and device count. The sign up was easy and the app on my phone is clean. It's been running for a few months without any fuss.

I've been with them since the early days and renewed the family plan again this year. The renewal reminders arrive on time and the process takes five minutes online. Protection has been steady across my laptop and my wife's tablet for years now.

Bought the annual plan on my phone during a sale. Installed it on my phone and laptop, took two minutes. Works fine, no weird slowdowns on my old laptop. Would get it again.

This worked out cheaper than the security package my bank was pushing on me, which was the main reason I switched. The signup was a bit fiddly because it wanted me to link two accounts, but once that was done it ran fine. Renewal price is fair for what you get.

I did compare it with the package my son recommended from another company, and this one came out ahead on price for the same number of devices. The sign up was straightforward though I did need my son to help me with the activation code. The support staff I spoke to were patient and clear, and I'm glad I went with it.

Honestly, it's worth it for the peace of your mind when you do a lot of online banking. I had a phishing email get through to my inbox and the site flagged it before I clicked anything. Took about ten minutes to set up on my phone and laptop. Renews at a fair price.

Had a look at three different security packages before picking this one, mostly because it covers five devices for less than the others. The sign up took about five minutes and the app walked me through adding my phone and tablet without any fuss. The scam blocker has already stopped two dodgy texts from reaching me this month, which is what I wanted.

I've done IT support for small firms for years so I know my way around security software. This one is light on resources, the scanning is thorough and it doesn't nag you with pop ups. Easy to manage across several machines from one account.

Really happy with this, first time using them and it was simple to get going. Booked it through the site on my laptop and the setup email arrived straight away. Ran a scan that night and it found some junk I didn't know was there.

I bought the bundle that includes the password manager, mainly for that. Syncing my passwords across my phone and laptop was painless and I stopped reusing the same one everywhere. The price is fair for what you get, and it saved me an afternoon of resetting things.

Needed it because my flatmate's laptop got a nasty virus the week before deadlines and I was panicking. Signed up on the site in about five minutes, downloaded it and it sorted everything out. Ran a scan on my own laptop too just to be safe, and it's been quiet since. No complaints, did the job.

The scam blocker on my phone is what I actually use it for. Caught a fake parcel text within a day of installing. Set up on my phone during my lunch break, sorted.

This is a good, solid bit of security software that does the job well. The price is competitive with the bigger names and it has never slowed my old desktop down. I checked it over the past year and it's kept everything quiet. Good value for the money.

The renewal email came through a week late so I nearly missed the window to keep my old price. Once I'd sorted the payment it was fine, the licence key arrived straight away and the install took about ten minutes on the laptop. Good value for the number of devices, though the auto renew box was ticked by default and I had to untick it myself.

Got the family bundle so I could cover my mum's laptop and my partner's phone too. Setting up each device took a bit of time but the account page makes it easy to see what's protected. Good price for covering five devices.

Used the free version of another brand before, and this paid one catches far more of the nasty stuff in my experience. The signup asked a few questions but it was clear. Not the cheapest, but I'd rather pay for proper protection.

Needed something quick after my old antivirus expired and I forgot to renew it. Got the new one going in the evening, took about twenty minutes. Runs in the background and I've not noticed it. Done.

Compared this with a couple of rivals and it came out a little dearer for the first year. The sign up went smoothly though and the protection has been reliable. The renewal price is what I'll be keeping an eye on.

Got it because my laptop was crawling and I wanted something to check for junk. The download was quick but the installer kept asking me to restart which was a bit annoying. Otherwise fine.
