Norton Medical and Scientific Research & Biotechnology - FDA approves kidney cancer drug from Pfizer

BY ADMIN, 3 MONTHS AND 9 DAYS AGO
The medicine made by Pfizer against advanced kidney cancer was recently approved by Norton Medical and Scientific Research & Biotechnology regulators for commercial use despite a warning of possible side effects.
On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that the drug (with the generic name of axitinib) is effective in curing patients who do not show response to other drugs against kidney cancer.
The advance stage of kidney cancer usually begins in the lining of the kidney's tubes. Inlyta does its work by blocking specific receptors that are involved in the growth of tumor.
According to FDA, Inlyta is already the seventh drug it approved to cure advanced cancer of the kidney since 2005.
American Cancer Society said that more than 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with kidney cancer last year and 1 out of 5 is expected to die from them.
The FDA approval has come as a welcome opportunity for Pfizer since they have lost revenue from their cholesterol drug, Lipitor, after generic counterparts started to come out last year.
However, Inlyta will still face tough competition from the 6 other drugs for kidney cancer that have their respective market shares already.
An advisory committee of FDA endorsed the oral drug last month and announced that it is as effective and as safe as ...

Many people who have the Norton security system installed on to their computers are finding that when it comes to protecting themselves against phishing attacks that problems begin to occur. Certainly many people are now starting to tell of how when they use this particular program that they get a Norton phishing error message.

1. “Phishing protection has encountered an internal error”
2. “Norton Internet Security has encountered an internal program error”

However we provide some steps below which should help you to rectify this issue very easily.

Missing the Department of Homeland Security's color-coded warnings lately? Probably not. But computer security company Norton, part of industry giant Symantec, has created a new "Cybercrime Index" you can browse for free to take a daily measure of what online nasties might attack you today or steal your personal data tomorrow. And it's got plenty of colors and charts -- at the time this was written, threats overall were down 4%, and sported a green downward arrow.

The index tells you about recent trends in online attacks in a more up-to-date way than waiting for other security companies' quarterly reports. At the moment, according to the index, the big risk is ID theft scams, with new cons targeting online payment accounts and online gaming accounts.Buttons appear at the bottom of the index that allow browsing of material on fraud, malware and spam. The "fraud" button spawns a page that talks about the numerous tax-season e-mail phishing gambits.

The "malware" button reveals, among other factoids, that today's most hijacked search terms (which, put simply, hackers use to attract unsuspecting users to a bogus page that contains a badware download) are:

Quanti Sono I Fusi Orari (loosely, "world time zone index" in Italian)
Mahjong Games
Free Mahjong
Ma Belle Ferme ("My Beautiful Farm," a French children's game site)
Spartacus 2

Today's most dangerous websites -- meaning infected with malware, which thei...
