Trend Micro AntiVirus quits unexpectedly

Just installed Trend Micro Premium Security Suite on macOS Ventura.  Every time I attempt to scan, the program quits with an error: "AFMMainUI quit unexpectedly".  

Anyone else experienced this?  Any solutions out there?

I am getting the same error: AFMMainUI quit unexpectedly

I tried your solution including downloading the hotfix. But when I try to open the hotfix file, my Mac responds with "You can’t open the application “iTIS_115_mac_AFMMainUI_hfb.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete."

I tried downloading and opening this file twice, and both times, I got this error.

My machine is a 2022 MacBook Air M2 with 16 GB Ram.

I am running Mac OSX version: 12.6.1 (21G217) (Monterey).

Please advise.

I'm also experiencing the same issue with the "AFMMainUI quit unexpectedly" error.  My version of Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac is 11.5.1318 and I still receive the "You can’t open the application “iTIS_115_mac_AFMMainUI_hfb” because it may be damaged or incomplete." message when trying to open the hotfix file. My Mac OS version is Ventura 13.0.1. Please advise.  Thank you.

Hi @tm_kath ,

I was able to install the hotfix file this time.  Not sure why the installation was not successful before.  And Trend Micro Antivirus seems to be working fine now.  Thank you so much!!

Hope you have a great day.

Hey there, sorry for the tardy reply.

The hot fix worked great. The app no longer crashes.

Thanks!
