Trend Micro to Scan Hotmail E-mail
9 Comments
Antivirus company Trend Micro announced that it will provide antivirus scanning for Hotmail's 183 million plus customers starting Monday. MSN Hotmail had previously used McAfee VirusScan, and gave no official reason for such an abrupt switch other than "to expand the e-mail protection of our Hotmail customers."
The Hotmail deal will likely give Trend Micro much higher visibility in the crowded field of antivirus software. "Our relationship with MSN Hotmail gives Trend Micro a tremendous opportunity to help protect millions of users with the same virus protection that we have been providing to our customers around the world for many years," Chang said.
