^^ Trend Micro also doesn't have update button, they auto update.... i personally think there should be some manual update button......
wtf, I used Trend micro last 4-5 years ago, it had a option of manual update then. Its sad.
it's true that Trend Micro Titanium has no manual update options but still it may be manually updated
Trend Micro - Support Portal - Knowledgebase Resolution
the Instructions are for Trend Micro Internet Security 2009 and some old versions but as Trend Micro Download Center ( link on the above page ) still offers newer files this might be applicable to Titanium - if anyone check and confirm this it would be really nice

AntiVirus Name: Quickheal Total Security (Quickheal's top version)
Free or Paid: Paid
Price in INR [If Paid]: Dont remember but it was around 1k
Protection Type: Firewall, Antivirus, Email protection, Internet Security....
Ratings out of 5.
User Friendly: 3
Detection Rate:2
Price:4
Overall:2.5
Recommend to Use: Yes or No [If No then mention the appropriate reason]. NO. Reason below
Comments:
This is the most frustrating anti virus I have ever used. Features like phising protection, Email protection automatically turn off, and if you turn it on, it turns off after a minute or two. This even happened with Quick Heal Internet Security on my laptop. On contacting customer service, they ask to upload a file that contains system info and never respond after sending the file.
It keeps on updating regularly, and a background scan also runs all the time. Also, when you download a new file from net, it immediately scans it. But negative stuff is more than whats positive in this AV so I won't recommend this to anyone...
I was just thinking of changing this anti virus, so what will be better: McAfee, Norton or Kaspersky?

Neither. Microsoft Security Essentials, you don't need anything more than that. If you're skeptical about it (which you shouldn't be), go for Avast free antivirus.

@Nipun
if you want a free good antivirus, then go for Avira/Avast with a free personal firewall of your choice like comodo/Outpost/OnlineArmour.....
it will be enough.....
if you want to purchase some paid, go for Kaspersky/ESET..... Kaspersky is quite heavy on PC, but ESET is really lite on PC..... but ESET is too costly.....

Agree with Tech.masti, eset is like 1000 for 1 yr/1pc, KIS 800/3pc. So the choice is yours.
