This is the kind of shit that really pisses me off!! Trend, like Norton and many others, have adopted the 'scorched earth' policies of Microsloth! Since they have lost engineering control of their codeset and cannot code against virus' & hacks in an agile manner, they block EVERYTHING globally or code their applications that install DLL's and executables in a bazillion different directories with registry settings and startup entrys that regardless if you run the uninstall and even delete the directory where the Trend application was installed, the fracking thing remains and runs on startup.
Hold down the 'Windows' key and press the 'R' key.
Enter msconfig
Select the startup tab.
Look for anything 'Trend' related and deselect it.
Reboot.

Hell, I just jump in "regedit", do a search for Trend or TrendMicro and delete everything I find. One has to be careful and double check the registry entries. Back it up before doing any editing, too. I did that for Norton. I DID, however have to search for two things, Norton and the again, Symantec. It takes a while deleting all of those keys.
