Trend Micro Antivirus

Trend Micro Internet Security (formerly known as PC-cillin Internet Security and currently known as Virus Buster in Japan) is an antivirus/internet security program manufactured by Trend Micro. The program safeguards users computers, home networks and small networks. Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 is the first security suite that is VISTA certified and therefore is fully compatible with any edition of Microsoft Windows Vista.

In the latest version, Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 includes a real-time protection, virus outbreak warning, firewall, antispyware, antiphishing and content filter, web filter, Windows and Office vulnerability check, Wi-Fi intrusion detection and the brand new trend secure online security features.

In a recent test conducted by PC World, Trend Micro Internet Security came 5th following other popular security suites including Norton, McAfee, Panda and F-Secure. Trend Micro's interface, speed, and features (including an antiphishing toolbar) were better than its malware detection scores. However, this test was conducted before the release of Internet Security 2007 and was tested on Internet Security 2006.

Also, in some cases, the Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 Firewall may turn on the "Internet Lock" upon receiving one of these alerts. In these cases, you will cease to be able to use network and internet programs (you won’t be able to view any websites) until you right click the Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 Icon, and deselect the Internet Lock.

Many users don’t understand this. The Emergency Lock prevents you from using your Browser, but does NOT prevent you from connecting to the Internet. To turn Emergency Lock off, you must be connected to the Internet. For Broadband users, this is no real issue, but dial-up users often panic. You can still dial up and connect via your ISP, but you can’t view any web pages. As soon as you are connected, you can turn the Emergency Lock OFF.

Many times Trend Micro may pass over some viruses that are known to be on your computer. For example, it will not detect Spysheriff and the WinAntivirus malwares.
