Hey, I am having the same issue after installing Trend Micro Antivirus-8.0.2004.dmg on macOS 10.13.1.
A dialog window pops up stating it's "unable to start protection", then opens System Preferences to "Security and Privacy", but there is no TrendMicro to give permissions to.
I have even restarted the computer after install, uninstalled and reinstalled, and even installed a previous version Trend Micro Antivirus-8.0.1246.dmg after nothing working, and off course it didn't work.
Installed Trend Micro Antivirus-8.0.2004.dmg again, and same effect...does not work.
In case the issue is still not yet resolved, it would be best if you will contact our Technical Support hotline so we could further check the issue. Please refer to the contact details provided on the link below.

"To keep protecting this Mac, you need a newer version of your Trend Micro security software."
When I click update now, I get the following message:
"Update complete: The current components are all up to date. No new updates are available."
I receive the same messages when I tried to reinstall trend micro.
