Instructions on uninstalling Symantec are available here.Navigate to the UW-Madison Software Library and select Trend Micro Maximum Security.
Click the Trend Micro Maximum security button and agree to the license terms. You should receive an email in the next few minutes from wiscorder@doit.wisc.edu containing your one-year license key.
Now that you've obtained your one-year license key, it's time to download the software and start the installation process. Click this link, and a download should start which will contain the most recent installer of Trend Micro for Mac. Select to Open the file once the download finishes. Note: If you encounter any issues with the installation or setup of Trend Micro past this point, please reach out to Trend Micro customer support for assistance. Trend Micro is available to help with any issues you may have installing the tool and setting up your account.
The Trend Micro installer will open. Double click to select "Install Trend Micro Antivirus."
A window may pop up warning you that the file is downloaded from the internet. The file is safe, so select to "Open" the file, and click "Continue" on the prompt that appears once the file opens.

On the Serial Number page, enter the one-year License key provided to you in the email from the software library, and select to continue. Note: Some users have reported issues with copying and pasting the license key into this box, if you encounter similar issues the best solution is to type the license in manually.

You may also be notified that a system extension was blocked. Click on the Apple icon on the top left hand of your screen, select System Preferences, then select Extensions. If the box next to Trend Micro's Finder extension is unchecked, click the box to check it.Note: Some users have encountered issues with proceeding past this step without performing step 16 first.

Now you must set up a Trend Micro account for the software to function properly. A new page titled "Activate Your Protection" will appear. Enter your personal email address to begin account setup (using your personal email is recommended so that you may continue to access your Trend Micro account even if you are no longer affiliated with the university and do not have access to your wisc.edu account). If you already have a pre-existing Trend Micro account from a previous purchase, you can enter the email associated with that account here. Click Next to proceed.

You will be presented with the "Protection Activated" page, which confirms that Trend Micro has been activated on your computer for the next 360 days. Click Finish to close out of the "Activate Your Protection" page, and click "Close" on the Installer tool.
The Trend Micro Application should appear in the dock. Click this application to open the first-time setup for Trend Micro. Click Next on the "Prevent Unauthorized Access Webcam Access" screen, and "Close" on the "Protect yourself from Ransomware" screen (you can configure this setting later).
Now you will need to give Trend Micro Full Disk Access so that it can protect your computer. Click the "Allow Full Disk Access" button, and follow the steps provided in the pop-up that appears to provide the "iCore" service disk access. Don't close System Preferences until you've completed the next step.
Before closing out of security & privacy tab of system preferences, navigate to the "general" security & privacy tab. An alert may have appeared on this tab asking to allow Trend Micro to make changes to the system. If this is the case, click to unlock the lock, enter your password, and click to allow Trend to make changes. Note: If you had already closed out of system preferences before reaching this step, click the Apple icon in the top left of your screen, open system preferences -> select security & privacy -> general tab to navigate to the proper screen.
The installation should now be complete. The Trend Micro application should now say that it's "Protected." You can now run scans and are actively being protected from malware in real-time.

You can request a new license key from the UW-Madison Software Library (as in step 1 above) 350 days after receiving your first key (as in step 2 above). When the time comes, you may enter this key into your expiring Trend Micro application to renew your license for another 360 days.

Plus, VPN Proxy Pro One has a very small server network, with servers in just 15+ countries. This prevents many users from connecting to a server in their home country or a nearby country for the fastest speeds. Another thing that bothers me is the VPN lacks extra features like split-tunneling, an ad blocker, or obfuscation tools to get around government firewalls in countries like China and Iran. There are other antiviruses that bundle a VPN in their internet security suites that include better security and are more feature rich.
Trend Micro Antivirus Security Pre-Activated full version
As with its Windows antivirus, Trend Micro doesn't offer a multiple-license subscription for Mac. If you want to protect more than one Mac, you can pay $79.95 for a three-license Trend Micro Internet Security subscription that lets you install a security suite on Windows or this antivirus on macOS. Trend Micro Maximum Security costs $10 more for five licenses that you can use on Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS. And if you ante up $129.95 for Trend Micro Premium, you get 10 cross-platform licenses, a full-powered VPN, and premium-level support.
You can enter a product key during installation or run Trend Micro as a free trial. Like all Mac antivirus tools, it needs full disk access to do its malware-cleaning job, along with a few other permissions. After a quick antivirus update, the product is ready to start protecting your Mac.
When I first rounded up Mac antivirus utilities years ago, I only included products that appeared in reports from at least one lab. However, the labs don't stick to the same test set. As you can see in the chart below, at present around 40% of the products come with lab results, with the rest having vanished from the latest tests or, like Clario, never having been tested. Trend Micro bucks this trend, though, with top scores from both AV-Test and AV-Comparatives.
Trend Micro acquired UK-based humyo in June 2010 for an undisclosed sum.[29] humyo provided cloud-based data storage and synchronization services to small businesses and individuals.[29][30] Later that year, in November, Trend Micro acquired Mobile Armor. Mobile Armor was a developer of full disk, file and folder, and removable media encryption for mobile devices.[31] Trend Micro integrated the company's technology into a centrally-managed platform for mobile device security.[31]
In June 2008, Trend Micro introduced Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, a cloud-client content security infrastructure that delivers global threat intelligence to protect customers from online threats, such as data stealing malware, phishing attacks, and other web, email, and mobile threats. In 2012, Trend Micro added big data analytics to its Smart Protection Network.[66] Big data analytics allow the network to use behavioral-based identification methods to identify new security threats.[66] The network also combines in-the-cloud technologies with other client-based antivirus technologies to reduce dependency on conventional pattern file downloads on the endpoint.[67] Threat information from Trend Micro's Smart Protection Network is deployed in real time to the company's security software portfolio.[68] Trend Micro's report on EU's General Data Protection Regulation showed an increase in extortion attempts as organizations try to comply with EU privacy laws.[69]
