Pros: Free, easy to access
Cons: no real-time scan
The Bottom Line: Great tool, often the first to find a virus when other products haven't got updates out yet for fast-spreading new viruses.

| bkfist's Full Review: TrendMicro HouseCall |
Great tool if you need to double-check your other antivirus's scan results. Always up to date. Trend usually has detection and fixes for viruses HOURS before other companies when a new fast-spreading virus is detected.
We use this product as a tool at work and have had it catch viruses that have been missed by McAfee and Norton, even after applying the most current updated from these manufacturers. The only product that can beat this one is Trend's full PC-Cillin product with real-time scanning and hourly automatic updates.
Only con is that it can not get into your email to clean it of infected email attachments.
Trend also has stand-alone, FREE cleaners for almost all of the newest and most wide-spread viruses. Even if their free house call can not clean a particular virus, it will link you to their page for the virus that was detected and you can download the cleaner from there to throughly clean the virus detected
