by far the most annoying app I've ever come in contact with. I'm choosing to go without protection just because this apps notifications are ridiculous. it won't go 1 full hour without clogging half your screen with useless notifications oh you turned off persistent notifications? thats ok. I just won't work in the background. ya know...the only time I'm ever useful

The security features of Trend Micro mobile security are terrific and do the job very well. Security features such as for text messages, websites, VPN, and so much more, cover all the bases for my protection. I additionally use Trend Micro for my laptop as well, and I am more than satisfied with the level of protection I receive from them. In my opinion, this is the best out there.

I installed Trend Micro to remove these constant notifications that my phone is compromised. It keeps saying my phone is optimized, but the messages keep coming. It may not be as comprehensive as it used to be when Housecall was free. Although, that was for a PC. This is an Android phone, and maybe the technology has not figured it all out yet.
