For Windows Vista consumers just wanting antivirus and anti-spyware, the company announced that the Certified for Windows Vista Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2007 will be available on the same day.

The Vista product incorporates the Trend Micro PC-cillin engine and anti-malware protection along with a host of new features addressing root-kits, spyware, phishing, spam, hacking, viruses, Wi-Fi attacks, smartphone threats and the growing number of ID threats.

The subscription also includes TrendSecure online security services.
