tmartel,
Thank you for visiting the Live OneCare program forums. How to questions in regards to Trend Micro are off topic for this forum. You would need to contact Trend Micro for continued support.
However, at this point, I can't be honestly sure of everything you have tried to do - to get rid of Trend Micro. If you did add/remove programs, removed it, then rebooted and checked your startup to make sure it was gone out of there, and then removed the folder from your C: drive, then I'm not sure what else is left to try short of checking your system registry. Bottom line, if a program did this to my personal machine, I'd do a complete factory reinstall and I'm not kidding. So many things can go wrong by altering the system registry, or altering your startup registry. So, if you are not an advanced user, I'd start fresh using your recovery media. There are so many things to make sure of if you do a restore, make sure to take some time to think about all of what you will need after your restore has completed.
That's the bummer part in regards to programs when they don't completely uninstall. They can be a headache later.
I hope this information helps. Thank you again for contacting the Live OneCare program forum.
Rick, MS
