Due to increased personal commitments and the beleif that computer users should be more responsible in their attitudes to virus protection, these pages shall no longer receive updates.

Protecting your machine against infection
Most infected files are downloaded from the Internet or forwarded to others via E-mail. To protect your machine against infection, never run files that are sent to you from someone you don't know or trust. Even if you do trust the sender, check to make sure the attachment was intentionally sent, as it is possible for an infected machine to automatically send an E-mail with an infected attachment without the user's knowledge. It is a good practice to scan any file you receive from others. It is also very important to keep your virus definitions up-to-date so that you get an accurate result when you scan.

Statistical Information

World Virus Tracking Center
The World Virus Tracking Center is a tool for measuring virus infections around the world. All virus infection data comes from HouseCall, Trend Micro's free, online virus scanner for PCs, and from the Trend Micro Virus Control System (TVCS), Trend Micro's central management solution for network antivirus and content management. Trend Micro has been collecting real-time virus infection statistics since November 1999, therefore statistics for viruses discovered before this date are limited to the timeframe from November 1999 to the present.
