Trend Micro made improvement over the 2009 version.  I had to stop using the 2009 version because it would take forever to load.  Reminded me of the old days for Norton AV.  Well Trend Micro has made positive steps in the right direction. You can definitely notice the better time but it is still to slow for my liking.  Back in 2005 and 2006 it was my favorite security suite.

The security suite includes virus, spyware, malware protection, firewall, parental controls, Internet and email controls

Trend Micro has also followed down the path of security vendors. The whole make the software by sending your "anonymous" heuristics data back to the vendor. I always uncheck this option with any security vendor. While they may only use it for making the software better, I prefer to caution on the side of not too trust.

The interface is simple to use, so you will not have confusion while you look at the various components in the security suite.  This is helpful for people who are not computer gurus.  (Red Bad, Green Good :) )  There are still advanced options for those who like to make their firewall changes and such.

Fulls scans take a long time to complete, so make sure you scheduled these when you are not using your computer. You will definitely notice the performance hit the computer takes while running the full scan.

The other factor I use to determine the quality of a security prodcut is using the independent test lab avcompartives. The full security suite was not tested but the Antivirus/antispyware was tested. The scan times are average and false postives were high.  It also missed many malware samples.

With this data I cannot recommend Trend Micro.  While using the heuristics may improve the malware detection, I would suggest looking at Norton AV or even Microsoft's Security Essentials because I would truct my computer's security Trend Micro.  I would also look other free tools. Malwarbytes and Superantispyware.
