By Sumner Lemon

Antivirus software vendor Trend Micro Inc. has struck a deal to provide antivirus protection for more than 100 million e-mail accounts managed by one of China's top Internet portal operators, Sina Corp., the company said Monday.

Under terms of the agreement, Trend Micro will provide antivirus screening for more than 100 million Sina e-mail accounts, Trend Micro said in a statement. Sina has 101.2 million registered users with e-mail accounts, it said. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Antivirus screening for e-mail accounts is just the first step in what will become a wider partnership for the two companies, Trend Micro said. Down the road, Trend Micro and Sina plan to make available an online virus screening service for PCs, anti-spam protection, and antivirus security for mobile devices, it said.

Trend Micro did not state when these additional services would be made available.
