CUPERTINO, Calif., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trend Micro, Incorporated , a leader in antivirus and Internet content security, today announced the latest versions of its Worry-Free Security Solutions. The newest versions build upon the success of previous versions by extending all-in-one integrated protection against malicious, emerging web-threats such as spyware through a powerful new anti-spyware engine; by improving anti-spam effectiveness; and by maintaining ease of implementation and use.

The latest editions of Trend Micro(TM) Worry-Free Security for SMB have been designed to meet the security challenges faced by small organizations and channel partners, by providing a dedicated security product with single-step installation and deployment, plus proactive defences against traditional and emerging malware. New functionality, for example in the flagship Client-Server Messaging Security 3.5, enables customers to remain protected against web-threats such as spyware, rootkits, bots and phishing. In addition, other improvements include significantly enhanced anti-spam functionality due to advanced heuristics and faster updates, and new server-side quarantine features.

Features from the previous version that remain highly popular include automatic threat protection against rapidly-spreading threats, an easy to monitor and maintain security dashboard, a comprehensive vulnerability assessment and the ability to check for desktops with outdated Windows system files from a single, central location.

"According to our customer research, small business customers acknowledged that web threats have evolved and are highly sophisticated, and without dedicated security experts on hand small organisations can find many security solutions too complex for their needs," said Steve Quane, general manager of Trend Micro's small and medium business operations. "By providing a specifically dedicated, easy-to-install product to customers, channel partners are able to maximise their return on sales revenue while providing a fast efficient support service to their customers."

All-in-one dedicated solutions such as Trend Micro's Worry-Free products better support the needs of small organisations and provide a comprehensive, reduced cost alternative to many of the more complex, resource-hungry repackaged enterprise solutions often offered in the marketplace to smaller businesses.

"Trend Micro's Worry-Free solutions enable small businesses to secure their company data and digital assets," Quane added. "Infection by malicious web-threats can severely impact productivity and an all-in-one solution with automated protection can help minimize the time businesses might otherwise spend worrying about the possible damage caused by such threats, thus enabling customers to focus on what counts most -- driving their business forward."
