Wins Annual Report Card Award Based on Research Study

Cupertino, Calif, Aug. 18, 2004 Trend Micro, Inc. (TSE: 4704, NASDAQ: TMIC), a leader in network antivirus and Internet content security software and services, has been recognized by their own solution-providers for outstanding satisfaction levels that it provides to them and has been acclaimed in the Annual Report Card (ARC) award program. The company received a Product Innovation Award in the Security Management Software category from the biweekly magazine that provides strategic insight to technology integrators, at an awards ceremony held on Aug. 17, at the XChange 04 Conference in Chicago.
Now in its 19th year, the VARBusiness ARC Awards recognize outstanding partner programs in 18 product and service categories including desktops, servers, storage management, Internet application server software and networking hardware. Winners were selected based on the survey results of more than 5,000 systems integrators, IT consulting organizations, value-added resellers (VARs), solution providers and software developers.

The VARBusiness Annual Report Card is the industry-defining research on vendor/partner relationships, says Editorial Director Robert C. DeMarzo. It is a significant benchmark because the winners are selected by their own customers.

As Trend Micro continues to enhance our partner program, we strive to create security solutions that not only protect customers computer networks from malicious code, but proactively add value and contribute to our partners business success, says Trend Micro North American President, Lane Bess. We are honored to be recognized by our solution-provider partners as an innovative provider of security management software.

Research was conducted by Bernett Research Services, a Boston-based data collection company, and Answers Research, the market research and consulting firm in Solana Beach, Calif.
