Trend Micro Extends Anti-Virus Software to Mobile Market
Trend Micro announced that they are extending their anti-virus product line into the mobile and portable space with the launch of Trend Micro Mobile Security.
As the number of people using the devices increases, so they become more enticing targets for virus writers,” said Raimund Genes, President of EMEA Operations at Trend Micro. “By offering the first version of Trend Micro Mobile Security free of charge, Trend Micro wishes to provide its customers and their data-centric devices a secure holiday season.”
The software will protect mobile devices from new threats in “real time,” as malicious code attempts to install itself on mobile devices.
Despite the attention from antivirus companies, most experts agree that mobile phone viruses and worms are in their infancy. The first mobile phone worm, dubbed Cabir, appeared in June.
