Hi :)
Yes, i was able to find it by a google search but my point was that they are 
not particularly well known.  I'm sure everyone could probably "reel off" maybe 
half-dozen to a dozen names or more without even pausing for breath.  Probably 
4 would appear on nearly everyone's list but people's last few choices might 
vary.  I can't imagine more than 2 or 3 people would have "Trend Micro" on 
their list.  

Of course one disadvantage with using well-known security is that more people 
are more familiar with trying to break through it or disable it.  Also fame is 
not necessarily a good indicator of quality and i can think of a few excellent 
programs that never got the recognition they deserved.  

However when famous security program fails there are usually stories about it 
and people find out fairly quickly.  With something obscure, when it goes wrong 
there might never be any announcement anywhere, or they might have too few 
users and not even realise they have a problem
Regards from 
Tom :)

A quick internet search reveals that they're a UK firm selling security
software for private & business users.  I suspect their software is
giving a false positive.

Trend Micro's url, should you be interested, is
http://www.trendmicro.co.uk/
