Trend Micro vs. ZoneLabs antivirus

I have been running Trend Micro PC-Cillin at home for over a year now, and I have been running ZoneLabs security suite in the office. Both recently came due for renewal, and because Trend is smaller, faster and less expensive, I bought two copies, one for home and one for the office.

As soon as I loaded it, the first order of business was to run an antivirus scan on the office machine's hard drive. Since ZoneLabs keeps their antivirus up to date, one would expect the results to be the same - that is, no viruses. Well, Trend found two instances of JAVA_BYTEVER.R, in files that ZoneLabs had scanned multiple times over.

The more I use Trend's package, the more I appreciate it.
