HouseCall

One of the most inconvenient aspects of using an antivirus is the amount of memory it consumes while running.

That's why, given the growing presence of the Internet and its advantages, antivirus developers have decided to create different versions of their programs that are able to support data processing through an Internet connection.

HouseCall, for example, is the latest offering from Trend Micro, which detects viruses by consulting an online database.

Aside from the reduction in memory consumption, HouseCall brings an even better advantage to its use: faster detection of new viruses. It's constantly connected to the Internet, and so your copy of the program is able to react to each new threat that is added to the main database.

It's in this way that HouseCall stands out as a new, intriguing alternative to existing antivirus programs.
