These days even console are not safe from malicious websites. That's why, Trend Micro has announced a new total Web security service for the Playstation 3. In addition, there would be free “Trend Micro Web Security for PS3TM” to be provided as the first service built for a gaming system to block malicious Web sites using URL filtering combined with Web reputation.
This service is developed as a module especially for PS3 using Trend Micro’s own Web reputation and URL filtering technology. It blocks malicious and harmful websites that uses a web reputation combined with URL filtering mechanism. When a website is accessed from PS3 , Trend Micro in-the-cloud databases are looked up. The URL filtering database classifies Web sites into categories, and the Web reputation database is highly immediate in evaluating Web pages, domains and IP addresses. By using both capabilities together, malicious Web pages and Web sites that were previously difficult to handle only with URL filtering can also be blocked.
The service is already available for use now and is expected to be free until the end of April 2008. There is no indication of how much the prices for the service would be once the free period is up.
