I'd like the expert opinions on TrendMicro as the product of choice for AntiVirus and spyware protection. I had a serious spyware infection that I was able to resolve successfully through a combination of Norton AntiVirus, Ad-Aware and Spybot plus a little help from this site.

I've run those 3 daily and have kept my Windows 2000 system clean.

I'm now in market for a new PC and the move to the world of XP and the company I'm dealing with prefers to install TrendMicro (Free for 1 year). Claims Norton does not update their virus protection frequently enough. Regarding spybot and ad-aware they claimed it would slow down my PC but these are not resident in my system tray so I dont think that is the case (unlike SpyBlaster).

Should I stick with what I'm comfortable with or is TrendMicro a better product and a replacement for all 3?

Thanks
