SecureData, an ERP.com company and the exclusive sub-Saharan distributors of Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in network antivirus and content security solutions announced that shortly after the Anna Kournikova virus hit, Trend Micro was receiving feedback from customers on how well its products were protecting customer enterprise networks and desktop computers. Quotes from Trend Micro's clients:
Quantum Alliance
By the time I arrived at 9 a.m. and checked my email, Trend VCS had reported over 300 infections of the Anna Kournikova virus, with more coming in every minute. In all, it caught more than 1500 of these viruses over the two-day span. We're glad that Trend Micro is so loyal to its customers by providing the fastest updates for their software. This is what makes me a loyal customer to Trend Micro.

I just want to say that your program has done a wonderful job. This new .vbs virus that is posing as a photo of Russian tennis player Anna Kournikova has been successfully blocked via the Attachment blocking feature. You saved us from a big headache!!! Thanks a lot and good work.

Since the outbreak of the Anna Kournikova virus last Monday, our Trend antivirus programs have detected and removed over 700 copies of the virus that were sent to our employees. In a company of over 20,000 employees, we had only one PC become infected by a user accessing an external mail system. Unfortunately, that PC was not running the current OfficeScan product. ScanMail did detect and remove all the virus attachments sent from that PC.

Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Trend's ScanMail for Exchange is a life-saver! While other companies have had their servers shutdown and workstations affected, we have been protected during every serious virus outbreak. Our users have had no impact to their day-to-day activities and mail has flowed freely. After using ScanMail for the last four years, I can't imagine being without it. I love ScanMail for Exchange!

I just wanted to let you know that I am VERY satisfied with your product line. I have used your ScanMail for Exchange in the past and last week for the first time, I implemented Trend Micro's InterScan VirusWall. What timing! With the latest virus attack hitting the Web this week, it really put your product to the test. I've had over 2000 virus hits in the past 48 hours and have not had one report of an infection. And to boot, the reporting option has helped me educate my customers on the vastness of a global virus spread.

I just want to say "thanks" to your company for the nice products that you have created. We have been having a lot of problems with viruses this past week and I have been trying most of your competitors' products for our SMTP gateway. I will say that they either crashed our server or were incompatible with the products running on our server. I spent days and nights working on a fix... no way. Then I received a message today on Trend Micro's InterScan for NT. I downloaded your product, installed it in 5 minutes... and you know what? NO PROBLEM !!! All was working fine - I ran several tests, used our Webmail interface, our listserver, our scripts and all was fine. If I would have known about Trend Micro's InterScan product before... I would have bought it immediately. Thanks again!

I wanted to thank Trend Micro's Technical Support for their help. Technically, they didn't have to help me but they did and that means a lot to a guy who is just learning about computers. Because of your help, I will be a loyal customer to PC-cillin and will recommend it to all my friends for its effectiveness and Trend's excellent customer service. In a world where everyone is an account number; it's nice to be treated as an individual with a real problem. Thanks a lot and happy virus hunting!
