Trend Micro eMail ID – Identify Phishing / Spam Mails Easily

Most of the online threats on your Internet Security start with an innocent looking email, inviting you to click on an important looking link. You click on the link, and the malware starts its dirty tricks.

It is highly important that you are able to quickly differentiate between good and bad. However, identification of the legitimate emails from phishing / spam emails can sometime be very cumbersome, specially if you are receiving tens of mails, if not more.

Trend Micro™ eMail ID is a browser plug-in that helps you identify legitimate email messages in your inbox. It is from the reputed and trusted vendor Trend Micro, which develops many security software products. (Related: Trend Micro Discount Coupons).

Trend Micro™ eMail ID uses a two-step check to verify the authenticity of messages from hundreds of major companies, and then displays the result in the “from” area so that you’ll know what’s real. This helps you avoid opening and acting on phishing messages attempting to spoof real companies.

Trend Micro eMail ID is available as a beta download for evaluation and feedback.
