Participating in the World Virus Tracking Program

The Trend Micro Virus Map displays information about actual virus infections detected by HouseCall, our online virus scanner for PCs, and managed products registered to Trend Micro Control Manager. You can view this dynamic map to analyze worldwide virus trends in real time and help predict virus outbreaks, and prevent them proactively.

You can add your data to the Trend Micro Virus Map by choosing to participate in the World Virus Tracking Program. When you choose to participate, Trend Micro Control Manager will only send anonymous information (via the HTTPS protocol and port 443), and you can stop participating any time by choosing No and updating your status on the Control Manager management console.
