    Online privacy is a big concern for everyone — now more so than ever. Nobody wants their browsing data tracked and collected by third parties. However, ensuring that this doesn’t happen is easier said than done. The big sites often have complicated terms of service, and who knows what some of the less reputable sites are doing with consumer data!

    Guaranteeing that your activity isn’t tracked on social media and third-party websites is as easy as flipping a couple of switches!

    Bingo! Complete peace of mind!

    4. Combat fake news & misinformation


    The internet is amazing. It’s filled with more information than you could learn in a lifetime. Unfortunately, it’s also full of lots of misinformation, and it can sometimes be quite tricky to tell the real from the bogus.

    Trend Micro Check uses our proprietary algorithms, as well as data from leading industry experts to guarantee you’re accurately kept in the know. 

    It’s as simple as highlighting a section of text on a website and clicking the Trend Micro Check icon. Near instantaneously, you’ll receive a breakdown containing verified information from reputable websites on the topic, enabling you to get the full picture easily.
