Trend Micro has applied its background in internet security solutions and threat management systems for large corporations to a range of antivirus software for the average consumer and small business user who wants an easy solution to keeping their computer hardware and files safe.

The new offerings focus on proven common customer needs such as enhanced protection against the latest forms of malware, 30 pre cent faster scanning than competitive products, easy reporting and more convenient manageability including a simplified user interface, according to Trend Micro.

Two updates for existing 2007 Trend Micro antivirus software systems are also available – Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2008 and Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2008. A completely new offering for 2008 is called Internet Security Pro.

“Trend Micro 2008 security products offer consumers powerful protection from cyber criminals by safeguarding multiple attack points, from the operating system to browsers to keyboards,” said the company.

 

According to research from TrendLabs, Trend Micro’s global network of research, service and support centres, internet threats grew by 540 per cent between January 2005 and January 2007, rendering many older versions of antivirus software obsolete.

“In order to combat such insidious threats, Trend Micro has enhanced the anti-malware protection available. New and improved functionality also includes proactive intrusion blocking, Web threat protection, enhanced anti-spam capabilities, a two-way firewall and fully integrated antivirus and anti-spyware engines,” said the company.

The new software has  been certified by the Industry Internet Association (www.iia.net.au)
