6. How is Trend Micro ScamCheck different from my AV security software?
Anti-virus software serves different, but complementary roles in your personal security. AV is designed to detect, prevent and remove malware – such as viruses, ransomware and spyware – that can infect your devices. Anti-scam solutions, like Trend Micro ScamCheck, are focused on identifying and preventing various forms of online scams and fraud that does not involve malware, but rather aims to manipulate you into providing access and information. It focuses on the digital content and communications you engage with, to prevent deception. Security measures for viruses and malware is not the same as what is needed for scam. While AV vendors may include some anti-scam capabilities, your AV solution alone isn’t protecting you from all forms of scams.
