You can't uninstall a program that is running on a pc you generally get this file is in use window, Anti Virus does not run in safe mode giving you the ability to uninstall it.

Trouble upgrading to Trend Micro Internet Security 16

Well, I believe that they are exceptional, or I wouldn't have used them, but I am expecting that TM Internet Security is going to be doing the same things for me that those other programs would have. In fact, on its first scan, it did find 112 things to fix, which Malwarebytes hadn't found, in spite of my having had it do a scan every morning.

Trend Micro running out

Here's a link to Microsoft's new Security Essentials Virus/Spyware program. On Vista here noticed a reduction in boot time & about 5% less total memory use in Task Manager as compaired to running avast. Task Manager shows it using 3mb. Read it may be nice for netbooks, but it may slow down slighly some of the more intensive netbook programs. slightly. PCAdviser news says only a limited number of public downloads will be available starting today at 1pm EST. Here is a link that might be useful: www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

Have you checked their website? usually they will tell you their preferred method of doing that. some companies tell you just to go ahead and lay the new one over the old one it will find your settings and save them and just install the new and remove the old, Some want you to do a full uninstall of old and then put in the new. I suggest you read the material with it and go check their website. I used trend micro but it was years ago so I really do not remember.

currently with so many people experiencing problems with the new AVG8 I am not recommending it, instead the main one I recommend is Avast and AVira. however if choosing AVG8 I would highly advise using the altered method of install AVG offers in their FAQ page which allows you to install with out the extras which are causing the problems. You can search here on this forum for much discussion on AVG8. OR this thread at dslreports AVG 8

the other option, if you can not turn off the trend micro from it's icon in the systray down by the clock, is you can go to your start up area and set it not to start at start up, which will then allow you to go to add remove and remove it since it will not be running, I had to do that to remove McAfee.

You can also get the free Revo Uninstaller which does a great job of getting stuff removed and it also has a startup manager in it so you can see just what is starting up when you boot the pc and you can change that in the manager.
They have super directions with pictures for each option that is built in to Revo.
