PS3 gets web security from Trend Micro

These days even console are not safe from malicious websites. That's why, Trend Micro has announced a new total Web security service for the Playstation 3. In addition, there would be free "Trend Micro Web Security for PS3TM" to be provided as the first service built for a gaming system to block malicious Web sites using URL filtering combined with Web reputation.

then id expect to have problems.
the ps3 web browser is handy for check things out quickly, but i wouldnt use it for much else, the web belongs to the PC.

NeonSkull6029d ago

i use the ps3 browser all the time, normally i'll come down in the morning grab my pad off the table press the ps button, make a brew, then sit down on the couch and check out my usual round of website, its easy to use and i have a keyboard ready if i need it. I find it easy and fast and better than sitting in from off a lapop or desktop. i download all the podcast i listen to onto the harddrive. It does lack when compared to the pc but it is a lot better than the wii browser and i find it very useful. i dont play a lot pc games anymore so i guess the ps3 browser is just more conveinent for me.

wrote this reply on the laptop though cos i cant log into n4g on the ps3 but i can on the psp strange.

mighty_douche6029d ago

...,just saying that its obviously not to be used for some websites, porn/torrents/crack/patches websites like that.
but your right, for general web surfing it fits the bill perfectly.

I thought that the only way to run code that is not signed by Sony on the PS3 is by installing other OS (cfr. Linux), and even then there are some limitations (no 3d acceleration...). Are all the viruses, worms, dialers, spywar etc. getting approved by Sony or something? I am not sure, but I think that the PS3 is the safest system on the net. Until the hackers find the way to run unsigned code, but it would be more probably used for piracy than to spread viruses.

It would be funny anyway to find out that virus makers find the security hole in the ps3 before the "backup" community :D

Monkeynator6029d ago

Many of the reasons browsers get updated today are due to security flaws. Whichever browser the PS3 browser is based on will have the same issues. Just because it is on the PS3 doesn't mean code can't run on it. The PS3 has Java, scripts, and we know the processor/environment (PPC, Unix).

Will I get some anti-virus protection for my PS3? Nahh, I'll rely on my firewall and the obscurity of the browser for now. There are easier targets than my PS3.

-SIXAXIS-6029d ago

Who actually uses the PS3 web browser? I know I don't so I don't need virus protection.

NeonSkull6029d ago

its not virus protection, it block sites that might contain viruses. i use the browser all the time, see my post above.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

hiawa233d ago (Edited 3d ago )

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

ChasterMies3d ago

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Skuletor3d ago

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more

DustMan2d ago

The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.

AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.

ChasterMies2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.

Abear213d ago

Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.

Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?

DefenderOfDoom23d ago

What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
