This is a common and among the best Antivirus software for protecting Computers and servers against malware and virus infection. To uninstall the program, a password is always required. Since you don’t have the admin password or enough privileges to uninstall it, worry not for we will try these two methods to resolve that.
First using the Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit
I don’t guarantee that Diagnostic Toolkit will work 100% as it allows you to make changes to the application and sometimes fails to remove it completely. Install it using this link→ https://esupport.trendmicro.com/en-us/home/pages/technical-support/1037161.aspx
Second editing registry files.
In case the Diagnostic Toolkit doesn’t work, advanced mode will solve the problem. You should be confident with safe mode and ready to make modifications to the system registry files. To do so follow these steps;
Press windows key+ R combination keys→ then type regedit and press Enter→ Navigate through the following registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TrendMicro\PC-cillinNTCorp\CurrentVersion\Misc→ once inside that folder at the right side pane, double click on it Allow Uninstall then set the value to 1. If you did it well, you can uninstall it directly in the control panel like any other application.
In a case where you still have issues even after making changes to registry file, use safe mode to uninstall it. The issue being the Trend Micro might be running interfering with the removal process that is why safe mode is vital because the process will not be running in background.

The folder and its settings will be removed and the program will not be able to execute again. Problem solved.
