PC Cillin

Key Features

Enhanced Antivirus Scanning
PC-cillin 2002 contains the latest Trend Micro technology that not only guards against known, harmful script-based viruses ("ILOVEYOU" and "Anna Kournikova"), but also protects your PC from new, unknown script-based threats through MacroTrapTM, ScriptTrapTM, and other Trend Micro patented technology. PC-cillin 2002 automatically scans for scripting viruses based on their actions rather than how they are written.
Internet Connection Security
PC-cillin 2002 includes a Personal Firewall for secure Internet computing. With adjustable security levels, a trusted site list, and port blocking capabilities, PC-cillin's Personal Firewall gives you the control to keep your computer safe from malicious programs and Internet intruders. The Personal Firewall is ideal for computers using always-on broadband connections (DSL, cable modem) or for computers that are often online. But, computers that only connect to the Internet for short periods of time are still vulnerable to hacker attacks and need protection.

Integrated Wireless Security
PC-cillin 2002 includes Trend Micro's PC-cillin for Wireless to provide portable, easy-to-use antivirus security for your Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), to protect important information on your PDA, and to secure your PC during synchronization.

Easy to Use
Designed for both home and office use, PC-cillin 2002's friendly interface quickly familiarizes you with all of its powerful features. The PC-cillin 2002 interface is configurable to operate in either a Simple or Standard mode. Simple mode is ideal for users just getting started with antivirus and Internet security. When you desire access to more advanced functions, simply switch to Standard mode.

Certified for Microsoft Windows XP
While providing continuing support for all other popular Microsoft Windows operating systems, Trend Micro's PC-cillin 2002 has passed rigorous testing that insures that it reliably, consistently, meets high-performance benchmarks for Microsoft Windows XP - without adversely affecting the operating system or application.

Email Virus Scanning
PC-cillin 2002 scans for viruses in new emails that you receive in your POP3 mailbox, including viruses that might hide in the "Personal Folders" within Microsoft Outlook that allow you to store emails locally on your computer. Supported email systems include:
- Microsoft Outlook Express 4.0, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0
- Microsoft Outlook 98, 2000, 2002
- Netscape Messenger 4.5, 4.6, 4.7
- Netscape 6.0, 6.1
- Eudora Pro 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.3
- Becky Internet Mail version 2

Download and Browser Scanning
Internet Web sites have programs that provide interactive content powered by Java and ActiveX programs that run locally on your machine. Most of this code is perfectly safe. However, some Web sites contain programs designed to damage your computer or to steal information. PC-cillin 2002 can filter out these harmful scripts, and Java and ActiveX programs to keep you safe when you browse the Internet.

Control Children's Internet Access
PC-cillin 2002 protects your children from browsing offensive and inappropriate Web sites by giving you control over which Web sites they can visit.

Configurable virus response levels
Users may adjust the software's response to a potential virus attack to:

Delete - Many of today's threats are worms or Trojan horses that contain no information of any value. This setting simply deletes the infected file or email. If it is important, simply locate a clean copy of the file or contact the email sender and ask them to resend a clean, uninfected version.

Clean - Many viruses simply attach themselves to valid and important information, leaving it intact. Trend Micro's PC-cillin 2002 can remove the infection from the file leaving it safe to access.

Quarantine - Quarantining is a powerful capability often used for files that fail to be cleaned or for other suspicious files. These files are moved to a central location to wait while you check with the source of the information to be sure it is safe before opening, or you may submit these files to Trend Micro for further analysis.
