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 helps ensure safe connections in hotel, airport, coffee-shop computer kiosks, and Wi-Fi-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.
