Possible Trend SMB 3.0 CSM problem on SBS2003

Hello everyone,
I have had the worst time this week with our servers. It appears that the installation of the Trend Micro 3.0 CSM install may be to blame.

A little background information. Last weekend I installed SBS SP1, ISA 2004, and SQL 2000 SP4. I also upgraded the Trend Micro from 2.0 to 3.0 (note to self, upgrade one thing at time to see which one screws things up). Our server had just been upgraded two weeks before using the Swing It procedure from a SBS 2000 box that was having hardware failures. Everything had been fine up until the patches this past weekend. Monday morning no one can log in to exchange, terminal server, database server is slow, etc. Called Microsoft PSS. Tech has no luck troubleshooting anything and to be honest I was never able to get a hold of him again (Didn't return emails, did not call as scheduled, etc). So in panic mode I start to uninstall ISA server 2004, Group Policy Management Console Etc. System would work fine for some users and not for others. But none of those appeared to fix the problem. Finally today I noticed while scanning through the service on the server that there is a Trend Micro Personal Firewall service installed on all of the servers. Stop the service and networking appears to be back to normal.

I thought when I did the install that I configured Trend to not use the personal firewall. All of our machines now have the Trend Micro personal firewall installed. If you are having problems with your system you might check to see if this is the case. I am no SBS2003 networking expert but and this about drove me crazy. Please let me know if anyone else has seen behavior like this.
