Consumers Can Protect Digital Assets and Connections They Care Most About With New Trend Micro Internet Security's Easy Set-Up, Enhanced Anti-Threat Protection, New TrendSecure Services Such as Remote File Lock, and Customer Care Programs
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 18 -- Trend Micro, Incorporated (NASDAQ:TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, today announced the 2007 version of its Internet security suite. The 2007 Internet Security release will incorporate Trend Micro's well-known PC-cillin(TM) engine and anti- malware protection along with a host of new features addressing rootkits, spyware, phishing, spam, hackers, viruses, WiFi attacks, smartphone threats and the growing number of identity-theft threats. In addition, the Trend Micro Internet Security subscription will include TrendSecure(TM), Trend Micro's new online security services. TrendSecure will bring added security for consumers that not only connect while at home, but often connect while they are on the go. TrendSecure is currently available in English and Japanese.
"We are excited to offer this hybrid software and web-based service release because increasingly mobile consumers and computer-connected families want to email, shop, share pictures, bank, browse, instant message with confidence, safe from malicious attacks and time-consuming interruptions," said Lane Bess, global general manager, consumer products and services, Trend Micro. "Trend Micro Internet Security comprehensively safeguards your laptop and other computers, your files, your transactions, and your identity. The all new TrendSecure online suite of additional security services provides information and tools that extend digital security beyond your home-connected computer."
Securing Data and Identity for Connected Consumers on the Go
Consumer laptop shipments more than doubled to 65.3 million worldwide in 2005 from 26.4 million in 2000, says IDC. The new Trend Micro Internet Security version includes additions and enhancements to secure consumer digital files and data, and protect against stolen personal identity due not just to cyber-theft, but also from the theft or loss of computer notebooks. It provides free extended customer care, and helps ensure safe connections in hotel, airport, coffee-shop computer kiosks, and WiFi-enabled municipalities. Advanced home network protection -- such as greater web content filtering, personal firewall capabilities, and centralized management -- provides parents with more assurance that their home computing environment's security is up-to- date and their families are safe when online.
Trend Micro's new suite is designed to identify, block and automatically remove known viruses, trojans and spyware; filter annoying spam; warn about unauthorized wireless access to your network; block objectionable content; identify fraudulent phishing scams; and provide users with real-time defense against online and offline identity and data theft.
New Features of Trend Micro Internet Security
Features include an entirely new integrated anti-spyware/antivirus engine and library that blocks and removes more spyware, adware, and grayware than ever before. The engine also takes full advantage of technology obtained through last year's acquisition of anti-spyware leader, InterMute -- innovations such as Venus Spy Trap(TM) behavioral monitoring and a uniquely innovative Rootkit Common Module that specifically blocks rootkits, a new type of deep-hiding invader. The new TrendSecure component will offer Remote File Lock(TM), allowing users to get on the Internet and remotely lock down their private/financial files in the event their laptop is lost or stolen. Transaction Guard(TM) uses a secret keyboard to protect users' online transactions conducted at internet cafes or public WiFi hotspots where keyloggers can potentially steal passwords and other private information. Available for download, Trend Micro Mobile Security protects devices from viruses and spam directed at smartphones.
