SPV C500 and Trend Micro Mobile Security

[Guest ospre]

Has anybody installed the Trend Micro Mobile Security Anti virus package for their C500?

If so does it work OK, were there any problems, is system performance downgraded at all?

For those of you who unaware of the product details can be found at

the company is offering free updated until end of June, presumably it goes subscription after that.

I decided that since there are currently no virus's for the smartphone platform I didnt need to pay for an antivirus app...

I have no doubt trend mobile realised most users would feel the same so decided to make the app free for a period, in the hole that a virus would come to the platform soon.

or am i just grumpy?

Trouble with anti virus software is that it always runs/scans - I dont use it on my PC (prefer to use combination of weekly backups/restore and clean installs every now and again.

There are no viruses that can attack your smartphone at the moment - best bet is to keep regular backups in case of the more frequent threat of software failure.

If you do install it - keep us posted as to how efficiently it runs (specifically battery drain & ram usage)
