How Trend Micro Toolbar works on Windows

Trend Micro Toolbar warns you about security risks with the websites you try to visit.

When you search online, it monitors and rates the websites in these search engines:

• Google
• Bing
• Baidu
• Biglobe
• Infoseek
• OCN
• Goo
• Yahoo!

Page Ratings

Hover your mouse over a website link from the search result, and Trend Micro Toolbar will show the page rating.
