Trend Micro slims down anti-virus systems
Security vendor Trend Micro is looking to launch an anti-virus suite designed to keep computers running smoothly while still protecting them from malware.
The company said that Internet Security 2010 will reduce the footprint of anti-virus software, allowing systems to run faster and with fewer interruptions.
Erik Hutslar, director of consumer product management at Trend Micro, explained that the move addresses a common complaint that anti-virus software hogs resources and slows performance. "They consider it a necessary evil, but they want to get back use of their computers," he said.
