Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro, Incorporated
(NASDAQ:TMIC)(TSE:4704), 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.
