Hi @daniellemorriss1999,

Welcome to Trend Micro Home Users Community!

To optimize Trend Micro software for better performance on your desktop PC, you can follow these steps:

1. Suspend computer notifications: Enable Mute Mode in Trend Micro to prevent less important pop-ups from appearing on your screen. Open Trend Micro, click on the Device tab, and then click Configure beside Mute Mode. Toggle the switch to ON. You can also terminate other apps to reduce CPU and memory consumption while in Mute Mode.

2. Scan and Optimize: Run the PC Health Checkup feature in Trend Micro to scan your PC and get recommendations for improving performance. Open Trend Micro, click on the Device tab, and then click Start beside PC Health Checkup. Once the scan is finished, follow the suggested improvements such as reducing startup time, regaining disk space, and removing duplicate files.

3. Make It Automatic: Turn on the Smart schedule feature in Trend Micro to let the app scan your PC when needed. Open Trend Micro, click on Settings, then click Security & Tuneup Controls > Scheduled Scans. Put a check beside Conduct a scheduled scan of the computer and choose Smart schedule.

Same spammer like before, with a hyperlink in the message.....

Cannot believe that so called TM "security experts" continue to fall for this....

Hi @claudiubotezatu 

Not every post that has a hyperlink in it is spam. There are certain things about employing hyperlinks that are positive. One example of this is the response format is in the form of a tiny link.

Our main goal as TM Security Experts is to provide solutions. We treat the post in our community as an important thread for raising awareness among others.  

Please feel free to share any suggestions you may have.

"Please feel free to share any suggestions you may have."

My suggestions:

1. have dedicated people who will answer on forums , not random TM employees who will jump here for 1 min with a nonvalue adding answer.

2. read the post before answering; see if is a legitimate one or not.

Otherwise , your forum is a joke....

Hi @claudiubotezatu,

tm_luisa, you are just another TM employee with only 9 posts so far, jumping out of nowhere to provide a boilerplate answer...

Why is so difficult to implement "2. read the post before answering; see if is a legitimate one or not."
