Hidden Costs Breakdown

1

Forced Auto-Renewal After Cancellation

critical support

Users report being charged for renewals even after explicitly canceling their subscriptions and turning off auto-renewal. The company makes it extremely difficult to cancel, with website errors blocking unsubscribe attempts and no accessible customer service to resolve billing disputes.

trustpilot

I turned off automatic renewal and cancelled my subscription to Trend Micro last year, and they still charged me today for a new subscription when I don't even have that card anymore.

trustpilot

After cancelling Trend Micro and moving elsewhere several years ago, Trend Micro keeps trying to bill me for annual subscription. I have sent them emails and cancelled a number of times to be charged again this year for a subscription I do not have. It is nothing short of fraudulent.

Activation Requires Credit Card for Pre-Purchased Keys

medium addon

When activating a product key purchased from a retailer, the activation process requires entering credit card details again, even though the license has already been paid for. This creates friction and privacy concerns for users who expected a simple key-based activation.

trustpilot

Bought a product key from Hervey Norman and as I follow the steps on trend micro to activate it takes to where I've got to put in my credit card again even though I've already purchased it. It's meant to be a 1 year plan not roll over, why can't I just put the dam code in.

3

Full Device Access Required for Premium Features

high addon

To use premium features like Web Guard that are included in paid subscriptions, users must grant full device access and control to Trend Micro. This creates significant privacy and security concerns, effectively preventing users from utilizing features they've already paid for.

trustpilot

In order to set up a few of these extras, I was prompted to ALLOW FULL ACCESS to my device - stating TM will have CONTROL if my device - so I ended up Not setting the extras I paid in advance for.

False Positive Management Overhead

Behavior monitoring creates false positives that block legitimate business-critical applications, requiring IT staff time to add exceptions manually. This is particularly problematic for secure browsers needed for compliance testing.

Malware scanning can be a little too strict at times preventing the use of needed files.

The EDR blocks secure browser connections that is needed for state testing.

5

Ineffective Support Channels

high support

No accessible phone support or live customer service. Chat support requires credit card details for technical issues. Users report spending hours trying to resolve problems through automated systems, with some issues remaining unresolved after multiple days.

it is impossible to speak to a real person. When you ring, they tell you go online and talk to a help bot. It is impossible to speak to a real person. All was going okay with the bot until I was told I was being transferred to a tech person, and they wanted me to fill out a form with my credit card details.

to update today took over 3.5 hours of my time inc 2.5 hours with chat support and still not working

6

Cashback/Rebate Program Non-Payment

medium addon

Promotional cashback offers are rejected even when all required information is submitted, with no recourse or explanation provided.

trustpilot

Purchased Trend Micro anti-virus with a $20 cashback offer. Submitted the request for cashback and it was rejected even though information was provided. The cashback offer is a huge scam and Trend Micro will do anything they can not to pay up on their promises.
