The 1 year Trend Micro subscription on my wife's PC is about to expire. All other things being equal, I would renew with them because she hasn't had any problems running it. However, the renewal cost is pretty high.
I decided to look around for a better deal, but was quickly overwhelmed by the quantity of titles available. Even within the same brand, there are multiple versions with cryptic differences in name (Plus, Gold, Total, Family Size, etc.) that are sold at varying price points. Some titles currently have rebates, some don't. Some have 1 year subscriptions, some come with 2 years. I am drowning in too much information to be able to compare.
Naturally, I'd like to get the best bang for my buck. I'd also like to spend less than $30. Is it worth it to pay more for SW with extra capabilities, or is just basic anti-virus protection enough?
