Trend Micro HouseCall

Considering the huge amount of Internet threats that an online connection comes with, you might get infected with some viruses and malware components that can harm your computer, slowing down your PC performance or even worse, stealing important data.

These threats typically perform malicious activities, copying personal data and logging keystrokes, so your information may become vulnerable to viruses and Trojans.

Using Trend Micro HouseCall you have the possibility to identify and remove a wide range of threats including worms, unwanted browser plugins, spams, and viruses. It enables you to perform personalized scans that target critical system areas so you can get a better protection.

Basically, the application performs quick scans by default and since it focuses on the main key system areas, it might not identify infected files that are manually copied to your computer. A useful solution to these actions is to run a custom scan and specify the folder you are interested in.

Because it does not interact with your current antivirus program, it does not affect your PC performance too. Still, it is able to detect active malware and spyware or file-based threats that your antivirus is not able to detect. This way, even if your computer is already protected by another security software, you can rest assured that you get maximum protection.

What’s more, Trend Micro HouseCall detects web threats even if they are downloaded into infected machines. These threats not only pose a broad range of risks including data and identity theft, but they are also a potential gateway for other malicious components that can severely affect your computer.

However, when using Trend Micro HouseCall you should be aware that this application is not designed to substitute your current antivirus software. Although it is designed to identify and remove various viruses and worms, used together with your security solution is able to provide you with a comprehensive protection available for your personal and financial information.

To wrap it up, Trend Micro HouseCall proves to be a reliable and effective solution when it comes to identifying and removing viruses, Trojans and other malicious software.
