Transcend Information, along with Trend Micro, has launched its newest USB flash drive, the JetFlash V15, with advanced Trend Micro USB Security software.
 
Austin Huang, Regional Head (Sales), SAARC & APAC, Transcend, said, "USB flash drives are immensely popular in India. Equally prevalent are the threats from autorun malware being spread through malicious websites across the worldwide web. 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."
 
With its easy-to-use interface and simple one-step activation process, 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.
 
"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. We're pleased to be able to team with Transcend in delivering smart, easy-to-use security so consumers can enjoy online activities with peace of mind," said Carol Carpenter, Vice President (Consumer Marketing), Trend Micro.
 
When the JetFlash V15 is plugged into a computer with Internet access, Trend Micro USB Security will automatically download and install the latest security updates directly onto the drive.
 
Steve Chang, Vice President, Transcend Information, said, "This is an exciting partnership that ultimately improves the lives of portable storage users by giving them the convenience of storing anything on their JetFlash USB flash drive with confidence that their files are safe from harmful viruses."
