The naming and descriptions of the different options and menus are provided in layman ’ s terms rather than with more technical wording so it’s easy to understand what each button does and find the function that you need. Everything is designed to be intuitive even to inexperienced users and there aren ’ t any imposing advanced settings and features thrown at you from the starting screen of the program. We found the Interface of Trend Micro 2020 to be quite appealing with its futuristic and minimalistic style.
