Tokyo-based Trend Micro on Monday extended its 2004 agreement with Microsoft to provide antivirus capabilities to 230 million Hotmail accounts. The company will scan and clean incoming and outgoing e-mail attachments for viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malicious threats.
"As Internet threats remain a top concern amongst users worldwide, Microsoft can rely on Trend Micro -- with our proven track record in delivering a scalable antivirus engine and rapid-response service -- to continue safeguarding e-mail for MSN's growing base of Hotmail customers," said Lane Bess, global Trend Micro's general manager of consumer products and services in prepared remarks.
