NEW DELHI, INDIA: Transcend Information, Inc., a provider of storage and multimedia products, announced on Wednesday that it has tied up with Trend Micro, Inc., a provider of Internet content security, to offer Trend Micro USB Security software preloaded on its newest USB flash drive, the JetFlash V15 in India for the first time.

With this combination of Transcend hardware and Trend Micro software, users can now share, store and manage valuable data more safely and securely than ever, said a press release.

"USB Flash Drives are immensely popular in India. Equally prevalent are the threats from autorun malware being spread through malicious websites across the world wide web," said Austin Huang, regional head - Sales, SAARC and APAC, Transcend.

"Considering that a majority of computer users in India have little or no awareness about and protection against these threats, our new JetFlash V15 USB Drives preloaded with advanced Trend Micro USB Security software will prove to be a boon to our customers," he added.

To combat against a rise in autorun malware that infect removable drives and then spread across corporate networks that Trend Micro threat researchers discovered last year, a software program called Trend Micro USB Security was developed to protect against malicious content in files transferred to a USB flash drive, said the release.

Trend Micro USB Security protects the JetFlash V15 from the first moment it is plugged in. If threats are discovered, users will be alerted and all infected files will be quarantined, it said.

"Our USB Security software paired with Transcend's USB flash drive makes it easy for consumers to add another layer of powerful protection against Internet threats and viruses that could harm their irreplaceable data and files," said Carol Carpenter, vice president of consumer marketing, Trend Micro.
