For our in-house tests, performance in PCMark
8’s Work Conventional benchmark improved ever so
slightly with Trend Micro installed. Without Trend Micro
installed, our test PC scored an average of 2,417 in
Work Conventional; after the security app was installed,
the average went up to 2,424.
In our Handbrake test, the PC chewed through a
transcoding of our 3.8GB MKV file in one hour and 15
minutes. With Trend Micro installed, that time went up
to one hour and 17 minutes. That’s fairly minor increase,Maximum security’s Data tab
