SecureData, local Trend Micro distributor, has announced the availability of Trend Micro's Virus Information Center for the personal digital assistant (PDA) market.
The Trend Virus Information Center comprises an up-to-date information and solutions service about thousands of macro viruses, Trojans, worms and other malicious code, and can be accessed by users of PalmOS-based wireless and modem-based palmtop devices.
With the increased use of Web Clipping Applications, users of Palm organisers can connect to the Internet and download financial, news, travel, entertainment and reference information in a format optimised to reduce download times. Web Clipping Application programs are provided by participating Web sites, and are supported by palmtop devices that can access the Internet.
Trend Micro claims it is the first anti-virus software company to offer virus information Web clippings to the connected organiser market. A specially developed application program now allows users of PalmOS-based devices to access the Trend Virus Information Center. Users can check, search and be updated on new viruses and alerts in real-time.
Users can also access short and precise virus descriptions from the Virus Encyclopaedia, see the top 10 in-the-wild viruses from the World Virus Tracking Center, and view lists of new viruses found each day.
"Trend Micro has always strived to better serve our customers by using the frontline of technology," says Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData. "Having access to Trend's Virus Information Center through a PDA can be a convenient and indispensable tool in a crisis situation."
