- Trend-Micro online scan
- Posted by Bill on November 8th, 2003
Purely out of interest I have attempted to try this scan on odd occasions,
but over the last two years or so have never yet suceeded. I get as far as
selecting my country, go "next" and it just sits there until the computer
times out. I think I did once get as far a downloading the little program
that's needed, but following that it just sat there 'till time out again.
Does the program actually work?

Make sure that your security settings and/or firewall
allow ActiveX controls to run. Also, here are some
alternatives to try:

It was seeing it in your signature that reminded me about Trend-Micro, so I
tried it again today with the usual results. Wether or not the program
works was a rhetorical question, obviously it works and is well used, just
not for and by me!
I run the paid for version of AVG which has always done me well, but is
interesting now and then to get a "second opinion".
I will try some of your alternatives. I didn't realise here were so many.

You're welcome.
If you have problems with the Trend scan, I recommend the
KAV (Kaspersky) and the Computer Associates (eZ Antivirus)
online scanners. And yes, "second opinion" scans are very
important, particularly with files from an unknown/untrusted
source.
