CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704;TSE:4704), a global leader in cloud security and the fight against cybercrime, today released Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security 2013, a new family of security software that promises to consumers "Protection Made Easy" combining state-of-the-art protection from cyber threats for your device, your important files and data, your privacy and your family.

The new five-product family includes Titanium Antivirus+, Titanium Internet Security, Titanium Maximum Security, Titanium Premium Security and Titanium Internet Security for Mac.

Social Networking Security

"Consumers spend most of their time doing one of three things on the Internet checking email, surfing the Web and using social networks to keep up with family and friends," said Carol Carpenter, general manager and senior vice president of Trend Micro. "It is time that security companies start keeping up with consumers, protecting them where they are at risk. I'm proud that Trend Micro is the first to offer powerful and easy to use social networking security to our customers."

Technology enables people to keep up with friends, family and colleagues around the world via social networks. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to social networking. Billions of people are socializing on websites, creating a large pool of potential victims that attract cybercriminals. Click-jacking, fake applications and social engineering are just some of the tactics used in order to deliver malware. In Trend Micro's Annual Consumer Security survey conducted of a 1,000 computer users, 20 percent of consumers reported that while on a social networking site, they clicked a link that posted things to their wall that they didn't want shared, and 18 percent reported clicking on a link that resulted in computer problems.

Titanium Internet Security is the answer to social networking safety. By identifying potentially malicious links, all products within the Titanium family protect users while on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, MySpace and Pinterest. How does Titanium do this? When Titanium identifies a bad link, it will let the consumer share this information with friends, so users can help keep friends safe online too.

The security survey also found that while 65 percent of respondents were concerned about someone accessing their personal information on social networking sites without their knowledge, 35 percent infrequently or never check their privacy setting, and nearly half don't change their privacy settings more frequently than every six months. It was also found that most respondents (more than 60 percent) share information on social networking sites that could lead to security breaches, like their birth date, hometown, pet names and more.

Titanium's new Facebook Privacy Scanner for Windows provides an extra layer of protection for personal information that is the only one of its kind in the industry. With a single click, users can easily monitor their Facebook page settings and control access to personal and private information. Titanium Internet Security products identify which settings may lead to privacy concerns, making it easy for consumers to be in the driver's seat and stay on top of settings as they change.

Family, friends hold vigil as they await word on extent of Devon Walker's injury

TULSA, Okla. (AP) -- Loved ones and teammates of a Tulane University football player who fractured his spine while making a tackle will face an agonizing wait to learn how serious the injury is and whether it will leave him paralyzed. Senior safety Devon Walker was in stable condition and recovering in an intensive-care unit after a three-hour surgery to stabilize his spine at St. Francis Hospital, said Dr. Greg Stewart, Tulane's director of sports medicine. "These kind of injuries take 24, 48, sometimes 72 hours to fully declare themselves," Stewart said before the surgery. "We don't know what the long-term implications and outcomes are going to be." Stewart said he was with Walker on the field, in the ambulance and at the hospital after the injury Saturday. He said Walker was put into a cervical collar and couldn't see much of what was happening, so Stewart explained what was going on. Walker was talking with doctors as he was being treated, Stewart said. Walker's parents had traveled to Oklahoma to be with their son, and they were "doing as well as can be expected," Stewart said. "They're like the rest of us -- hopeful and prayerful." Stewart was back in New Orleans on Sunday, as were Walker's teammates. He said Tulane's athletic director and the football team's trainer remained in Oklahoma with Walker. Walker's injury occurred on the final play of the first half, hours after Tulane opened the Conference USA portion of its schedule against Tulsa. Tulsa was leading 35-3 and facing a fourth-and-2 with the ball at the 33-yard line on Saturday when the Golden Hurricane called timeout. Tulane then called timeout. When play resumed, Tulsa quarterback Cody Green tossed a short pass to Willie Carter, who caught it at about the 28, and turned upfield. He was tackled around the 17-yard line, with defensive tackle Julius Warmsley and Walker sandwiching him and apparently smashing their helmets together. Medical personnel from both teams tended to Walker as he lay on the field. FOX Sports reported a hush went over the crowd at H.A. Chapman Stadium as Walker was attended to, and that several coaches were in tears as he was taken away in an ambulance. Spectators bowed their heads as someone on the field led the stadium in prayer. Dr. Buddy Savoie said during a postgame news conference that Walker never completely lost consciousness and was breathing on his own. "He was stable when we transported him," Savoie said. "I do not think, based on the information we have, his life was ever in danger." Walker is a senior majoring in cell and molecular biology. His brother, Raynard, told The Associated Press on Saturday that their mother was watching the game on television when her son was injured. Tulane head coach Curtis Johnson said after the 45-10 loss that while Walker was on the field, Johnson told Walker that he was praying for him and that help was on the way. He said the mood among players was somber and called the day his most difficult ever. "It was tremendous that they finished the game, as I thought about just saying `Hey look, let's not do anything else. Let's just get on the road and go."'

Parsing Parti Quebecois win

Re: Marois will have to be deft to press agenda in minority, Opinion Sept. 6

Pauline Marois might just have enough room to navigate the narrow straits of her slim majority, wrote Professor Pierre Martin. It should not be necessary to warn the Stars editors and a political science professor to be careful with the word majority in most Canadian elections.

In fact, Marois Parti Quebecois won a slim plurality of seats, 54 to 50, over the Liberals with a very small plurality of votes cast, about 31.93 per cent to 31.20 per cent. Lets get used to using this word.

After the by-elections Thursday, the Ontario Liberals are left with a plurality. Well, that will go with the major minority they won in Oct., 2011 with a small plurality of the votes cast, 37.6 per cent to the 35.4 per cent gained by the Conservatives.

Jim Milne, Haliburton

The English in Quebec and Ottawa long ago left the toxic French atmosphere after the Liberals abandoned them to their fates of being the maudit anglais. These English then abandoned the Liberal Party to its fate.

You would think Canada would have come up with a comprehensive plan to deal with separation after the vote but all we have is the Clarity Act that Mme. Marois will laughingly chuck into the garbage.

All Pierre Trudeau really achieved was a failed little country situated in the bosom of a successful big country. Quebec, like Russia, is now perilously just another mafia-run economy.

Press lament Wallabies' captain's curse

The Wallabies passed a test of character with their first win in the Rugby Championship, but are suffering from "captain's curse" with Will Genia out for six months, commentators said Monday.

Australia came from behind to win the Test against the Springboks in Perth on Saturday 26-19, a welcome return to winning ways after their embarrassing 22-0 loss to New Zealand in Auckland a fortnight ago.

But the win came at a cost to the Wallabies, with skipper Genia Australia's third successive Test captain to suffer an injury that keeps him out of the game for a prolonged period when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee late in the game.

Genia was standing in as leader for David Pocock, who is out with a knee injury following the Wallabies' first Rugby Championship Test against the Kiwis.

Pocock had replaced first-choice captain James Horwill, who was sidelined during the Super Rugby season with a hamstring injury.

"Wanted: Fit captain and a halfback ready to hit the ground running," ran the headline in the tabloid Daily Telegraph, which said that Genia was "the third victim of the cursed Wallaby captaincy".

"Character was the key word for the Wallabies in their preparation against the Boks, particularly after the public backlash to players smiling with the All Blacks on the field after losing in Auckland," the paper said.

The Sydney Morning Herald headline agreed: "Wallabies pass important test of character", it said.

The Australians handled the pressure better than they had in the Tests against New Zealand, the paper said.

"They showed in Perth there was still some life in this wounded beast, demonstrating the resolve required for a victory comparable to their three triumphs earlier in the year over Wales," Greg Growden wrote.
