Well, I am glad this is affecting other people, I've had this twice now on Google's Browser and done a reinstall on the 'Extension' as has been suggested. I expect it will occur yet again at some point. 

Trend Micro is investigating this so that is reassuring, I just hope a resolution is achieved quickly as this issue is a real nuisance.   

Stay strong people, Trend Micro is with us!!

Thank you for your patience @telboy911. I completely understand the frustration you're experiencing with this issue on Google's Browser, and it's good to hear that you've taken steps like reinstalling the extension. Trend Micro is actively investigating the issue.

Hi @karismajopd ,

We are already consulting the issue you have reported last time which is the Restart pop up issue on Microsoft.

Rest assured that we will get back to you once we got a resolution to this.

I don't have the best laptop in the world, but even with 16Gb of RAM and a 400mps Internet connection, the download of the new version took a long time.  Applying the update itself was painfully slow.

After that, the Chrome extension failed twice, BUT it worked on the third attempt.

End result - have a little patience, people, it will work.

Cyber security is why you bought Trend.  The deeper the update goes, the longer it takes to protect YOUR DATA.

If every release was easily ingested by ALL machines out there, people like me would be out of a job (I am an IT Business Analyst).  Put another way, the fact Trend are aware and on the case to resolve this matter, means YOUR INTERESTS are very high on their priority list.

If Trend were to act like Microsoft, then continue to moan about the update.  Unlike Microsoft updates (which screw up my laptop EVERY TIME, requiring partial rebuilds) Trend actually care about the customer journey.

As a Customer / Consumer, you have a choice... the other products (and services) are not as thorough as Trend.  I prefer a little 'discomfort' with an occasional, less than perfect update than having my data stolen.  By all means, try the others... Good luck with remaining safe online.

Please note: I am not affiliated with Trend, but when the largest global Shipping company (my former employer) installs Trend after an expensive cyber attack that wiped out 46,000 laptops, 60,000 desktops and three server farms, then you know there is quality in the product.  Good luck to those who remain cynical.

" Occasional " little discomfort, and read the reviews and comparison test benchmarks on  "'others" . They might surprise you. Did the former employer have any Cyber Attack Software installed before the attack? The "occasional" happen far too often, simply read through this Forum to see the facts.

Trend Micro could be a world leader, if they stopped their "patches" for many of their issues. Will agree on Microsoft, another IT curse.
