Overview
Trend Micro Antivirus+ is a software program developed by Trend Micro. The most common release is 8.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The program adds a toolbar to Microsoft Internet Explorer. The primary executable is named vizorhtmldialog.exe.
