Trend Micro Launches Online Security Software

On March 12th, 2009, Trend Micro, the US online security organization that has its based in Tokyo have reported earnings of more than 800 million dollars in 2007, has debut a software that protects minors from online casinos and online gaming. A Trend Micro spokesperson stated that Trend Micro enjoys the prestige of being the only organization that features this online security software to gives end-to-end, comprehensive and detailed state-of-the art parental control. This is a good new for a parent whose teenager has a cellular phone and a credit card. Regulations in the US concerning web gaming are a hot topic around the world.

Some people think that an all out gaming ban is unfair to the willing players; others say it is important to protect minors from getting expose to the dangers of gaming addiction. Trend Micro's Advanced Parental Control Software embedded in the Trend Micro Online Security 2009, will now give players the chance to prove that with the appropriate tools, online gaming can be a safe and enjoyable experience. Some of the features of the Trend Micro software are limited online access by time of day or week that would show a pop up reminder 5 minutes before the online access time is up.

In this way, parents can control the timing when their children sit before the computer. The 'Advanced Parental Control Software' blocks the online sites that parents do not want their children to access. This can also be done by age level of the child. The TIS software solution of Trend Micro comes with four pre-determined categories-Child, Teenager, Adult and None. Parents can pick from these four categories or customize it to suit their needs which could mean blocking gambling, social network or just about any online site that parents would want to keep off their children.

Trend Micro's online software also prevents leakage of private information on the World Wide Web. It stops children from revealing information via the web, online messaging or email. The child may enter phone number, address or even credit card number especially on online gaming sites but it would not be correctly understood by the receiver. These security efforts by gaming companies like Trend Micro will hopefully solve fears associated with underage gaming and change the current UIGEA ban in the US.
