How do I stop the annoying "Renew Now" Trend Micro pop-ups????

me like wise get these popups throughout the day, they are so annoying 3 months out you have to be joking.

Hello sue.wright17248,

About this popup that you keeps on appearing your computer, can you tell us more about it? If you can provide us with a screenshot then that will be better. When I checked your records here your subscription is already updated. Maybe we need to check on something else so if you can tell us more about it then that will be so much better.

Regards,
Pat

Maybe licences should add on the leftover dates by default? Better then getting spammed 3 months before hand.

Several years ago I was with Trend Micro Security,like others commenting on this page the early renewal messages started 3 months before my subscription ran out.In order to stop the annoying messages I decided to renew my subscription early as I was told by a Trend Micro representative on the phone the new subscription would be added to the old one,giving me 1 year and 3 months of coverage.Upon renewing my subscription that was not the case,and my subscription was only valid for 12 months,hence the 3 months coverage from the old subscription was gone.Living in a remote location and only having a mobile phone I once again contacted Trend Security,after waiting for 45 minutes on hold listening to never ending Trend advertising(more than $35 phone-call for nothing),I just gave up.I was so annoyed I decided to cancel my newly paid subscription and go to Norton Internet Security instead.How surprising to find the same thing happened with Norton Security,with 3 months left on my subscription they started the same annoying messages for early renewal just like Trend.It seems both major companies Trend and Norton do the same thing.No doubt being the 2 largest internet security companies they have the market sewn up,and work in cahoots with each other.Once again having purchased Trend  with 3 months left on my subscription the same thing is once again happening."I KNOW WHEN MY SUBSCRIPTION IS DUE FOR RENEWAL-I DON'T WANT OR NEED TO BE CONSTANTLY SPAMMED EVERY TIME I TURN MY COMPUTER ON."

Hi @thematrix63,

Apologies for your troubles. As mentioned on this thread, these renewal notifications/pop-ups are important to avoid lapses and to ensure that you will be able to renew your subscription and can stay protected. We are currently coordinating this internally.

If you were able to renew and was provided with a new serial number, this does not add up automatically to the existing serial number you have. That may have been the reason why the remaining 3 months of your subscription did not reflect after the purchase.

Should this happen again, you can always contact our Support lines to assist you on addressing this issue on your account.

We hope this information helps! Thank you so much for your patience and have a great day!

Hi Ian,
           Thanks for taking the time to reply.This is exactly what happened,I renewed my subscription 3 months early and was issued with a new product serial number.Upon entering my new product key rather than adding onto my old subscription with 3 months remaining it cancelled out my remaining 3 months left,and only gave me 12 months coverage.What is the point/purpose then of renewing early if the remaining coverage of the old subscription is lost?I will now just wait until the day my current subscription expires before renewing for another 12 months.As I stated I did try and contact your support staff,but after being placed on hold for 45 minutes as all your operators were busy I just gave up.Thank you once again for taking the time to reply.

Hello thematrix63!

We do apologize for that negative experience that you had with us. The normal scenario is that the remaining subscription months should automatically be carried over. It is only an isolated case on which has happened on your end.

Should the same problem happened again and I hope it not, or if ever you will have troubles with our program, we have other contact channels where you can reach us for free. You may try our Chat Support and our representatives can help you out through live chats.

See this link.

I hope this helps,

All the best.

Hi gtcox, welcome to the community!

As mentioned on the previous reply, these renewal notifications are important to avoid lapses and to ensure that you will be able to renew your subscription and can stay protected. If your were able to renew and was provided with a new serial number, this does not add up automatically to the existing serial number you have. 
Also, there are some pop ups that refers to promotional discount that we have which you can take advantage of, you may opt out from receiving the pop ups by unsubscribing from it. 
You can open the email you received and at the bottom you will see the options to unsubscribe. 

Have a great day! :)

It is clear trend mirco is not listening to its customers,   we should have the ability to disable these messages.   It is rather ironic,  we use your product to stop malware and virus, yet your product is behaving like malware for trend micro to advertise as it feels fit and not allowing users any ability to disable it.    other than uninstall there product .   If Trend micro was serious about people renewing, then they should provide the freedom for users to opt in or out of these promotion advertising and renewal reminders.

Apologies for the inconvenience. These “Renew now” pop-ups was designed that way just to heads up customers that their subscription is about to expire. We just simply want our customers to be aware about their subscription and not having a day without any protection on their devices. This pop-ups would may prevent customers to let their subscription expire and be vulnerable to threats. 

We are gonna check this on our end and we will raise this concern. 

Thank you for understanding and have a great day!

These are the popups I'm getting ( https://ibb.co/k6V7j7 ). every day for the past 2 weeks, my copy of trend is not due for 88 days.

I also don't turn one of my machines off, and it's still getting them daily.

My customers are also complaining, I sell about 15 trend licensees a week and they are getting annoying popups also. 

Should not be spamming that much, I can understand at 90 day point to get one popup, then at 60 days and another at 30 days, then one at 5 days and one day before expiry etc, but this is a joke.

In my opinion this is great sales marketing at it's best. Getting people to renew months a head of their subscription makes you more money by making the user cut their subscription short.

It's not a email, it's a popup from the program. 

On going cashback promo is right, every day it pops up!

Also, under newsletter settings it says:

"Changing these settings will have no effect if you did not buy your subscription directly from Trend Micro."

No use for me.

I also don't buy license keys directly from trend, the trend versions I get are way cheaper then what you advertise. Maybe all keys should carry over the remaining days no matter what. If they did I would enter my new keys now and not have these popup issues.

Need to ask for private info

I don't like them either. They start to early and you do seem to be able to turn them off. I used Trend Micro for a number of years but as a result of the annoyance on all my families computers (6 in total) I've decided to switch to another companies internet security product for all my devices (12 including phones and tablets). In other product you can turn off these notifications.

Hi philbwa,

The following options were already set to "off".

- Trend Micro Newsletter
- Special offers, promotions, and surveys

I think they are for email notifications, not the program ads etc.

Hi Marty,

That is actually correct. Turning off newsletters is just one option that you may turn off in case you would not like to receive these offers via email. The main purpose of these pop-ups are to inform our customers of the running limited promotional offers for their subscriptions and we do not intend to cause any annoyance on your end.

We apologize for any troubles and inconvenience we are causing through these pop-ups and please know that this is already being coordinated internally.

Thank you for the patience.

Have a great day!

Hi mikewojcik991, 

I created a seperate thread here: 

https://en.community.trendmicro.com/tm_en/topics/how-to-stop-trend-micro-renewal-notifications-baruw...

I do not use Trend Micro anymore. I uninstalled it from my computer but every time on start up I get that annoying pop up asking if I'd like to reinstall it. NO I DON'T AND I WANT THE POP UPS STOPPED. I cannot change my notification settings because I no longer use the service. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO STOP THIS???
