What's Hot:
Trend Micro Internet Security 2207offers numerous features. Here are some highlights of the application broken up into the sections in which they are found:
Virus and Spyware Controls tab:
When you open, save or download files, Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 will continually check for viruses and spyware. There is an Exceptions Lists button which provides you with the option of entering wanted and unwanted programs. You can add trusted programs to the list which will stop Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 from triggering warnings or from showing up in the scan results. The unwanted programs option will automatically remove programs which you’ve added to the unwanted programs list. You also have the option of managing your cookies.

You can prevent unauthorized changes made to your computer. There is a list of actions you can customize. In other words, you can decide which modifications you’d like monitored or blocked. The list includes titles from “New Startup Program” to “Layered Service Provider.” You can then decide how closely you’d like Trend Micro Internet Security 2007 to monitor these areas. Your options are Always Block, Always Allow, and Ask When Necessary. If you are unsure of an option, you are given a brief outline of what the title means.

You have the addition options of selecting certain categories to block, such as Adult, Crime, Instant Messaging, or Photo Searches.
