Trend Micro unveils Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition

Trend Micro, more popularly known for their antivirus products have entered the much publicized up Anti-Spyware market with the launch of the Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition. This product is specifically designed for the enterprise users. It incorporates technologies from their recent acquisition InterMute. The company says that this software product will give security administrators more detailed control over security settings than Trend Micro’s existing anti-spyware offerings.

In addition, server administrators would also be able to automatically discover and then “silently” deliver software to desktops without disturbing desktop users. They have also integrated the InterMute CWShredder software into this product, which makes it particularly effective at detecting the CoolWebSearch spyware variants.

One good thing is that the software has been designed to not interfere with other security applications that might be installed on a system. As a result, users can use it in conjunction with antivirus products from competing companies. Trend Micro is also expected to launch an update of the company’s PC-cillin Internet Security suite and version 3.0 of the company’s Client Server Security and Client Server Messaging Security products for small and medium-sized businesses.
