Founding and location

http://www.trendmicro.com/tw/about/profile/overview.htm

The above webpage in Chinese said Trend Micro was founded in California, USA in 1988.

"It has a TrendLab located in PH as a global virus/worm responsing center."--What is a TrendLab? What is PH? What is a resposing center?

The TrendLabs support services derive from a global network of antivirus research and product support centers that serve as the backbone of Trend Micro’s service infrastructure for providing continuous round-the-clock coverage to Trend Micro customers around the world. More than 300 engineers, researchers, and support personnel spread across its dedicated service centers in Manila, Tokyo, Paris, Munich, Taipei, and Lake Forest, California, monitor potential security threats and mount rapid responses to major virus incidents and urgent TrendLabs support requests.

PH refers to the Manila location in the Phillipines.

'Responsing center' refers to TrendLab's abilty to respond to upcomming threats.

edits

I edited this page to take out the contact for Federal sales. The inclusion of an email address for sales appears to go against Wikipedia rules. This is a site for information not an extension of the Trend Micro marketing website.

Article does not mention important products

The article is missing very important information. It emphasizes the product PC-cillin which is widely known mainly between nonspecialists but the most important products of Trend Micro are their gateway and server anti-viruses like InterScan VirusWall, Messaging Security Suite etc. See [1] [2] [3]. --pabouk 08:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Au contraire, friend, I myself feel that the article as it is, at the time of this comment, is laden with too many links to various names for the same Trend Micro antivirus. While it is useful to know the many names of the product over time, it's really not necessary to put a link to each variation. If anyone made a page about each rendition of the same name, it would be either deleted, or redirect to this page.

Therefore, I propose that the links are removed. The Tangmeister (talk) 22:53, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwanese Company ???

The company has been founded in USA and moved later on to Tokyo... Is that enough to treat the company as Taiwanese? ;))))))))))

The article and the data box at it's beginning disagree with each other. One says that the company was formed in California, and the other says that it was formed in Taiwan. So, does anyone know which one is correct? Windward1 (talk) 07:47, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Newer Screenshot of Trend Micro's Internet Security. V. 2007

The screenshot is old & is from 2006 we should have a screenshot from 2007. --Kanonkas 22:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Screenshot has been taken care of --Kanonkas 22:27, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

No, they got removed from the bot, anyway the one who had the image said it could be shared & he made it himself, anyway anybody please give us a new screenshot of trend micro 2007.

Poor Customer Service

Tren Micro is extremely slow in correcting customer orders. Repeated attempts to rectify a double orders for PC-cillin are met with automated replies but no action. "rea" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.16.177.190 (talk) 22:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dissatisfaction with retailers who stock a company's products is hardly justification to vandalise the company's wikipedia page. Someone revert?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.237.34 (talk)

PS3

There should be something about the internet security for the ps3 browser. I think it started in November 2007 and the demo ends April 2008. Patrolman89 (talk) 03:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peacock, news release, COI

In this edit, 65.115.76.126 removed the "peacock" and "news release" flags. That surprised me, as it still looked to me like a news release with peacock terms.

Who might 65.115.76.126 be? Toolserver.org explains: 65.115.76.126 is Trend Micro. Oh. -- Hoary (talk) 02:27, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship

Well the enterprise technology that they are offering to networks , does not let you visit certain sites. It rates certain sites and than decides if they are malicios, suspicious or "normal". There should be an paragraph about it on the wikipedia article. (my source : http://reclassify.wrs.trendmicro.com/) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.214.220.138 (talk) 23:56, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is common in the business world that web sites are blocked by employers to employees for various reasons. Reasons can be sites that are malicious, are personal e-mail sites (Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, etc.), are social network or personal entertainment sites (Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, or web radio stations, etc). What's the surprise? I'm sure that there is an article somewhere on Wikipedia that addresses that issue. Is it censorship or employers right to use and direct employees paid work time? --TGC55 (talk) 13:52, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not in cases such as [4] when the file is blocked because of political censorship (even in the face of scientific corroboration![5][6]) EllenCT (talk) 08:00, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Consumer products

this section (Consumer products) should not have a reference to 1990, as a 20 year old product has no business in a product description. the rest of that area needs to be redone as well to incorporate the 2011 products and get rid of outdated product references.

Bubba 83835 (talk) 21:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Illegal

The section was added by a single purpose account. It was sourced by a Japanese article and there is not English coverage, so if this information should be on the company's page at all, I feel it should go on the Japanese page.IdlePlayground (talk) 21:45, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with TippingPoint

TippingPoint has no independent notability. I suggest Trend Micro mention the product and what it is, and that we delete TippingPoint, per WP:PRODUCT and WP:CORP. FalconK (talk) 01:59, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed. I haven't evaluated independent notability, but this is a product that gets sold and passed to new companies with some regularity. When it gets sold from Trend Micro to ______, your proposal would have the contents of the TrendMicro section moved to a new article, which doesn't seem realistic. Porkrind (talk) 16:29, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Opposed. By the same token why should Sourcefire or Internet Security Systems still have articles. History of companies and products are important. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23A8:40C0:200:6DDE:6B62:20BE:416F (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given the opposition and absence of support over 18 months. Klbrain (talk) 20:48, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
