Trend Micro maintains a database of risky websites
that have a history of transmitting malicious
software or supporting online fraud. Follow the
directions below to protect yourself from unsafe
sites.
Mark the Block potentially dangerous
websites checkbox to protect against threats on
the Internet automatically.
Choose one of the three levels of protection
against Web threats:
High
Prevents you from opening sites that pose even a
slight risk of transmitting viruses and spyware. This
setting also blocks harmless sites that might have
been hijacked in the past.
Normal
Blocks websites that have characteristics
associated with online fraud, or that show signs of
transmitting viruses and spyware. This setting also
blocks unrated sites that might pose a threat.
Low
Only blocks websites verified as dangerous. These
sites can transmit viruses and spyware or actively
support online fraud.
Mark the Display the Trend Micro Toolbar on
supported web browsers checkbox to make the
Trend Micro Toolbar start checking for security
risks in websites that you might want to open. The
toolbar can also automatically rate the safety of
links listed in online search results.
Mark the Prevent Microsoft Internet Explorer
from running malicious scripts on infected
websites checkbox to block dangerous software
injected by hackers into legitimate websites.
