How does Smart Surfing for Mac help me avoid web pages with hidden threats?

When you attempt to visit a website, Smart Surfing communicates with the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network servers to obtain a rating for the website. The page rating is indicated by a colored icon next to the website address. Depending on the rating and the user defined Protection Strength settings, the website may be blocked. When access to a website is blocked a notification appears in the browser window.

Smart Surfing ratings apply to both the page that is currently open, and to web pages listed in Google, MSN, or Yahoo search results

What do the web page ratings mean?

Safe - The page is safe to visit and does not contain unwanted content. All local pages are considered safe.

Suspicious - The page contains suspicious content. We do not recommend you browse a page rated suspicious.

Dangerous - The page has been found to contain hidden malicious software or signs of involvement in "phishing.”

Untested - This web page has not been evaluated by Trend Micro.
