Trend Micro releases the latest version of their Worry-Free Business Security product version 5.1.

Now it might seem like a small release, but this new version is significant in many ways to our customers.  Firstly the release fully supports and integrates the new version of Microsoft Small Business Server 2008, and the new Microsoft Essential Business Server 2008.

Both of these products are available from now and we're proud to be able to provide a total solution to you using best of breed products.

Other key improvements within the new Worry-Free business Security version 5.1 include:

 Enhancements to some of the core engines that allow Trend to better protect your network

 The Behaviour Monitoring engine, (which was created in v5.0) has had a rework of its design and now performs even more proficiently at detecting malware that many other Anti-Virus products will miss.
The Behaviour Monitoring engine does this by monitoring the way in which programs run on your computer and prevents the program from modifying key system files, and other attributes that can be directly related to virus-like activity.

This is one feature that few other malware solutions on the market have at this point and sets Trend Micro apart from the competitors.

Additional things that have changed in version 5.1 relate to the reduced memory footprint of the engine itself.  Trend have worked hard and have reduced the memory used by version 5.1 to be around 40% of what it was in previous versions.  Essentially this translates to more efficient operation on older machines.
Finally, Trend has their Smart Protection Network which is more than just the product you have on your desktop and servers. It's an overall monitoring system that now takes feedback directly from your system's Antivirus software. 

This is aimed at improving their detection rates and helping to ensure that we remain Worry-Free in respect to virus infections.

For those of you that have current maintenance on your Trend Micro Anti-Virus, the  software cost for this upgrade is included in that maintenance.

Since this is a manual upgrade, setup can take between 1 - 3 hours depending on the current version of Trend Micro currently installed on your system*.

We'll be contacting you over the next few weeks to discuss the remote upgrade to this latest version. 

We recommend Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security version 5.1 to ensure the best protection for your network.
