What does Trend Micro Browser Guard do? It protects against web threats, zero-day exploits, execution of shell code, Trojans, and malicious JavaScript. It uses advanced heuristics and emulation technologies to make sure your browser is protected against known and unknown web threats.

Please note that Trend Micro Browser Guard is a browser plug-in that provides support for any Internet Explorer edition from IE6 onward. And since we’re talking about support, I have to mention that Trend Micro Browser Guard provides support for 32-and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. If you try to install Trend Micro Browser Guard on a PC that runs Windows 8, you’ll be presented with a prompt that says “operating system not supported.”

A very simple setup wizard will help you install Trend Micro Browser Guard on a PC that runs a supported Windows edition. Said setup wizard is presented in the Quick Look video that accompanies this article. Check out the video to see how easy to is to install Trend Micro Browser Guard on a Windows PC.

Trend Micro Browser Guard silently runs in the background, detecting and protecting against threats as you surf the web using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. If it detects highly malicious content on a webpage, it blocks the whole page. If it detects medium malicious content on a webpage, it cleans the page so you can continue browsing.

Trend Micro Browser Guard is freeware.

Trend Micro Browser Guard, a browser plug-in for Internet Explorer, protects Microsoft’s web browser from threats, exploits, and malicious content.

Pros

Installing Trend Micro Browser Guard on a Windows PC will only take a moment. Trend Micro Browser Guard silently runs in the background and protects Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser; it analyzes web content as you surf the web with Internet Explorer and prevents known and unknown web threats. Trend Micro Browser Guard is free software.

Cons

It provides support for XP, Vista and 7. It does not provide support for Windows 8 for example. A prompt that says “operating system not supported” will show up if you try to install Trend Micro Browser Guard on a PC that runs Windows 8.
