TRENDnet (3/6/2006)

Torrance, Calif., March 06, 2006 – McAfee, Inc.(NYSE: MFE), the leading dedicated security technology company, and TRENDnet, a best-in-class networking manufacturer of wired and wireless networking solutions, today announced that TRENDnet will offer McAfee’s Internet Security Suite in its complete line of 802.11g Wireless products to help protect broadband users from identity theft, online hacker attacks, harmful viruses, spyware, and other potential unwanted programs with its award-winning, multi-layered security approach.

The number of U.S. households with wireless networks is expected to grow from 14.3M in 2005 to 48.8M by the year 2010 and consumers are recognizing the need to adopt a multi-layered approach to security that extends beyond the individual PC. McAfee® and TRENDnet are dedicated to helping customers secure PCs as well as any other equipment they’re connected to, such as wireless routers. In fact, McAfee introduced McAfee’s Wireless Home Network Security 2006 in August 2005, which offers easy-to-use tools that make it fast and easy to secure consumers’ home networks.

“TRENDnet is excited to partner with McAfee to add another layer of protection for our customers, enabling them to freely share information over the Internet or their local network without the threat of ID thieves, hackers or spammers,” stated Heath Gregory, Marketing Director for TRENDnet. “McAfee’s Internet Security Suite offers the most complete protection available for home and small office networks, and addresses the needs of our customers.”

“McAfee is pleased to establish a relationship with TRENDnet and offer comprehensive PC, Internet, and wireless network protection alongside best-in-class wireless routers,” said Stu Elefant, Senior Product Manager for Wireless Initiatives at McAfee. “We look forward to offering our security suite with TRENDnet’s line of home and business products.”

McAfee Internet Security Suite protects PCs from viruses and unauthorized access to irreplaceable documents, such as digital photos and personal financial data. This comprehensive solution also protects users’ identity from spyware, hackers, and “phishing” scams, filters spam, blocks unwanted or persistent pop-up ads, manages cookies, and helps prevents the display of unwanted and offensive Internet content. With automatic updates sent daily for newly discovered viruses and malware, McAfee Internet Security Suite is a comprehensive, multi-layered security solution that thoroughly protects PCs connecting to the Internet.

Under the terms of the agreement, TRENDnet will offer McAfee Internet Security Suite with its top selling line of 802.11g Wi-Fi wireless products. Customers will have the option to receive complimentary trial subscriptions to McAfee Internet Security Suite or any of its non-suite products, and McAfee products will be sold to TRENDnet customers at a discount.

TRENDnet’s top-selling line of 802.11g Wi-Fi products allow broadband customers the ability to wirelessly share a single Internet connection with multiple users at home, in the office, or on the road. The 802.11g family includes a Firewall Router (TEW-432BRP), Access Point (TEW-430APB), PC Card (TEW-421PC), PCI Adapter (TEW-423PI) and USB Adapter (TEW-424UB).

In addition to TRENDnet’s line of 802.11g Wireless Products, TRENDnet will be unveiling a number of exciting new innovations at the 2006 CeBit Tradeshow in Hanover, Germany (Hall 16, Booth # D18) March 9 – 15, 2006.
