What's this BS 'security software password' rubbish???
After all the years of using Trend Micro Internet Security... it's now saying that if I want to 'temporary Turn off the Protection against viruses', I need to enable my Security Software Password... there's no way around this bollocks.
I use a lot of Widescreen hacks for games that enable the full use of my 32:9 monitor that Trend incorrectly deletes, thinking they're viruses but I've never had to deal with this type of crap until now.
If this feature isn't shortly disabled, or gives users the ability to disable it - I'll be cancelling my subscription to Trend Micro forever.

Hi @mrpeterjohnston ,
Welcome to Trend Micro Community!
Would you be able to provide us with a screenshot of this message from the Trend Micro Security app? This will help us in identifying which feature of the program is triggering the notification.

Been like that for a couple of years now. I commented on it in the past as I disable it when I am doing my imaging backups.
@tm_helen when you right click the Trend icon in the taskbar and select disable protection, the enter password box opens up on the screen. This is what the OP is referring to.

@davevt31 Yes... this guy gets it. I've only ever had this for the last week or two maybe. It is the Password box that opens up when trying to temporarily disable the protection.
WHO thought this was a good idea??? And who decided that it had to be mandatory???
