If by mistake you have downloaded this piece of software and decide to install it, you might run into multiple surprizes. Here's my story:
It's 21H30, and I browse the new downloads available at betanews, and find a 30 day trial version of a new PC Cillin system protection tool. The comments seems ok, and all. Great, let's download / install this sweet new tool.
Installing it wasn't really easy. It was long, tedious and discouraging. The first thing that I found that was annoying while going through the install is that PC Cillin has decided that my trusty AVG wasn't good enough and had to be uninstalled as it created conflicts with it. After a quick reflection, I tought; "ok, I'll trust you in this, mr. Pc Cillin...". This AVG uninstall yet prompted a system reboot, which I did. Then, it said Pest Patrol was a conflict with the install, again, uninstall and reboot. Finally, Microsoft Windows Defender was a conflict with the install! Well, that surprized me. OK, uninstall, system reboot! What could surprize me more now?
21H55, The installation continued for another 5 minutes and, surprize, it jammed. I rebooted. After reboot, well, the installation continued and succeded! Yikes! Ok... Now does the software work? Actually, I never had a chance to test it. The system was incredibly slow from then on... I have Task Info, and I couldn't see my processor run much more than 5%, but the system was an incredible hog.
22H25, I decided to reboot. After a reboot, the system was still a hog. I was pissed, and decided that PC Cillin had to go. I tried the uninstall, but it didn't work... After tens of minutes of time wasted from having my system not respond to me faster than 1 pannel every minute or two. I rebooted and went into Safe Mode! I looked at what PC-Cillin looked like with the very good tool called Autoruns. I deleted all entries of Trend Micro and rebooted. Well, PC Cillin reappeared in my task list and yes the system returned into a crawl! OMG this is bad. I also tried to go into the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAM, but PC Cillin & Trend Micro isn't there to remove...
11H05, So I went the hard way. Reboot in Safe Mode. Go in the Trend Micro directory and delete everything! Then I went back into autoruns and removed all Trend Micro entries again. I even emptied the trashcan and finally loaded Crap Cleaner (CCleaner) and did a couple of cleaning passes and error corrections.
11H30, Finally I rebooted and it's gone! As well as my 3 other trustworthy tools named AVG, Microsoft Windows Defender, Pest Patrol!!!
