Comments on Mobile Security & Antivirus for Android

★★★★☆ Stephanie Albrecht (StepStone) · Sep 5, 2026
Trend Micro fine In Moto Power, Motorola 2025 Droid 16. App Freeze increases battery life but updated screen provides tiny bit of space for App Freeze check off. Lightest Ram footprint among 11 AVs I tried (Why I bought 5 years worth.) Pay Guard, Wi-Fi checker, Sms/App Fraud Buster, Parental Control all good. No non-TM ads. Really like TM's free QR Code Reader. Customer Service chat excellent. Want Dark Mode! Need Dark Mode! Dark Mode Please! DARK MODE! DARK for bad eyes, PLEASE! DARK MODE PLEASE!
★★★★★ Walt Jester · Sep 6, 2026
Trend Micro has protected my devices for 30+ years. It features powerful threat protection. 🙂
★★★★★ Eve Hodgson · Sep 29, 2026
I have used Trend security for years now Have had no issues.

They want to force you to set up auto-renewal. If you don't want to, you have to suffer through their support team and waste hours to activate your license.
★☆☆☆☆ Mr Obvious · Sep 28, 2026
After spending over $2000 for the full package got life with a one time payment and was guaranteed to be able to have all of my devices covered under the plan and add or remove devices with no problem and if I did have any problems to call the support team, and I would have priority service for whatever reason I and needed help with. I have 7 devices total and have spent 1 1/2 days trying to get my main desktop PC and phone protected and neither of them are protected and working right yet!
★☆☆☆☆ Gordon Marshall · Oct 3, 2026
I've used Trend Micro for over 20 years. Never again. The process to install a new product key is ridiculous. Install using QR constant error message. Send email or access via phone, neither work and just tells you your license has expired or just sits there with a spinning wheel, and I can't see a way to update the product key. It used to be, you just opened the app and updated the key and it worked. Not anymore. All this app does is get more expensive particularly if you are a return user.
