Through a unique, multi-layered approach, the new offering, which has been designed for the Internet gateway, server and desktop, combined with Trend Micro's anti-virus capabilities to provide customers with a comprehensive, manageable and stable solution, a release said.
Trend Micro's Inter Scan Web Security blocks the spyware from entering the network at the gateway and can also block outbound 'phone home' communications containing private information and can initiate a cleanup of impacted clients to eradicate any resident spyware.
Its Micro OfficeScan can block unwanted spyware, adware, remote access tools and hacking tools at the desktop as well.
Trend Micro also offers damage cleanup services to help automate the cleanup of spyware and the restoration of any service of desktop. Administrators can easily customise company's spyware detection and blocking based on their organisational security policies, it said.
To most organisations, spyware is not only an invasion of privacy, but can also enable the theft of sensitive corporate data besides causing system instability, computer downtime and unnecessary bandwidth usage.
In a recent survey in the US, around 80 per cent of the respondents ranked spyware among the top three IT priorities for 2005.
