Is there a way to stop Trend Micro Anti-Virus services?
Trend Micro changed their services a while back so that they do not allow TASKKILL or NET STOP to stop their services and you cannot manually stop them through the Services MMC snap-in either. The only way I'm aware of to stop their services is directly through the Trend Micro client software. I understand why they want it this way, but is there some way around this? I have software from Autodesk to deploy that will not deploy properly if Trend Micro is running. This requires me to log onto the target computer and manually stop the Trend Micro services through the Trend Micro client software and stay logged onto the target computer while the software deployment is running until it completes. I would like to be able to create my PDQ software deployment in a way that will disable the Trend Micro services, then install the software, and then restart the Trend Micro services. Is this possible?

That would be more a question to the Trend Micro support.
I found the solution. The Client Security setting must be turned off at the security server to allow the NET STOP command to work.
