It's that time of year again, with security companies releasing their 2009 range. This gallery gives you an insight into Trend Micro's offering.

Hackers have broken into BusinessWeek's online site and set up an attack scenario in which visitors to a section of the site could have their own computers compromised and their data stolen, a security researcher said on Monday in the US.

If you're heading to the Beijing Olympics to cut deals, schmooze and booze, don't leave your laptop and mobile with your hosts for a second and watch your gadgets very, very carefully. Of course, it might cost you a deal because you're acting weird, but your data will be safe.
Last week's blog on why consumers might be confused by contradictory messages on computer security from banks drew a few objections from interested parties ones that I thought would be worth responding to this week.
Banks obviously have an interest in making consumers feel safe. They are there to protect the customers' money. They want customers to use their online services, too, because the channel offers a lower cost per transaction than a branch. But giving away free security software to make customers feel safe is probably doing more harm than good.

The IT security industry has come to a frank realisation that the current approach to preventing malware is simply not working. Is whitelisting, which is the reverse of our current approach, the answer?
User Account Control (UAC), the 'annoying' security feature in Windows Vista, will not stop malware from infecting PCs, according Roger Grimes, a member of Microsoft's software security team.
The profit motive of cybercriminals has caused the total number of known malware threats to double from 250,000 to 500,000 in just one year. "Essentially, in one year we did 20 years of work," says F-Secure's senior security specialist, Patrik Runald.
