Avanquest UK To Launch Virusguard From Smobile |
|
Avanquest UK, a leading developer and publisher of business and consumer software for the global PC market worldwide, has launched VirusGuard, a unique anti-virus product specifically for mobile and smart phones developed by SMobile Systems, innovators in mobile security solutions for virtually all mobile phone devices.
Since 2004, the number of malware and viruses targeted at mobile technology has increased dramatically spreading between mobile phones, Palm and Pocket PCs of all operating systems. So far, 283 mobile viruses have been identified and are commonly distributed via Bluetooth, SMS, MMS, Infrared and email. These viruses can cause havoc, copying sensitive data, deleting information and even disabling system applications.
VirusGuard from Smobile Systems provides full protection from all known viruses and malware threats for all major mobile platforms, including Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, Smartphone, Blackberry, Palm, Symbian OS series 60 & 80, plus VirusGuard is the FIRST and ONLY Symbian Signed anti-virus application for the Symbian UIQ platform.
Installation is straightforward, completed via a PC in only a few minutes. VirusGuard then works by automatically and continuously scanning all data received for viruses, regardless of the method of transmission. Options to scan the whole device or just the memory card or internal memory can be selected. Once harmful content is detected, it alerts the user immediately and offers the option to delete the data or save it. VirusGuard can automatically update itself by downloading the most recent virus definitions over the network and straight onto your mobile, protecting devices and their data from the very latest threats.
VirusGuard automatically starts when the device is switched on and runs discreetly in the background. Unlike other mobile anti-virus software products, it does not interfere with network efficiency or other mobile applications. The easy to use program can intuitively determine its own settings or be changed manually as desired through its simple interface. VirusGuard also logs all scanning and detection activity by date and time in an easy to access file, showing a clear history of activity and surveillance.
Jon Silvera, Managing Director of Avanquest UK Consumer Division commented, "We are delighted to be working with SMobile Systems on such a fantastic solution to help combat the spread of mobile viruses. This is great news for corporate users, individuals and organisations everywhere".
