New Trend Micro(TM) Internet Security Suite Gives Consumers All-In-One Protection
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 18 -- 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.

"By offering the household license, we recognize that many consumers
