Why do you need to know which country I'm from?
The version of HouseCall you are about to use has been specially designed to work with the Trend Micro World Virus Tracking Center. This is an information tool used for tracking computer viruses worldwide in real time based on data from HouseCall users such as yourself.
What information is collected?
The following information is sent back to the Virus Tracking Center server from your computer: country of origin and number of files scanned. If any viruses are found during the scan, HouseCall will also send the name of the virus, the number of infected files found and the number of files cleaned by HouseCall.
What information is NOT collected?
No personal files from your computer are ever sent back to Trend Micro's servers. All virus tracking information is anonymous. We do not log IP addresses or collect personal information about individual users in the Virus Tracking Center database.
How is this data used?
See for yourself by visiting the Trend Micro World Virus Tracking Center. Trend Micro uses this data to analyze worldwide virus trends as they occur and to predict virus outbreaks and prevent them proactively.
