Internet Connection

 

 

Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 (version 17.50) requires an Internet connection for the following tasks:

 

 

 

·         Activating your subscription online

 

·         Checking your expiration date

 

·         Downloading updates

 

·         Sending feedback about malicious software

 

·         Sending Trend Micro Anti-Spam Toolbar queries

 

·         Transferring Trend Micro Data Network and Smart Protection Network information

 

·         Obtaining virus information

 

·         Browsing pages on the Trend Micro website

 

 

 

If you have a dial-up connection or any other Internet connection type in which you are charged per connection, by the duration of your connection time, or by the amount of data you download over your connection, make sure your router or connection software is set so your computer does not connect to the Internet automatically in order to support the features listed above.

 

 

 

You may edit your router settings as required (you should find instructions on how to do this with your router’s manual or support site). This will allow you to avoid extra connection fees for automatic updates and the like.
