History

Previous versions of the program as of March 2009, are:

    * PC-cillin
    * PC-cillin 2000
    * PC-cillin 2002
    * PC-cillin 2003
    * PC-cillin Internet Security v11/2004
    * PC-cillin Internet Security v12/2005
    * PC-cillin Internet Security v14/2006
    * Trend Micro Internet Security v15/2007
    * Trend Micro Internet Security v16/2008

Only versions from 2007 onwards are currently still being supported by Trend Micro.

PC-cillin 2000 and earlier versions were purely virus scanners without any additional features. PC-cillin 2002 and 2003 were stand-alone virus scanners which also included a firewall component as a bonus and improved the scanning engine somewhat. The newer PC-cillin Internet Security bundle offers more features such as spyware protection, anti-spam and an integrated firewall along with an even more improved scan engine and enhanced heuristics. After PC-cillin 2003, Trend Micro did not offer a stand-alone antivirus program for the consumer market till 2007, when the company finally released a standalone Anti-Malware product which offers protection from viruses, spyware, and (possibly) adware.
