Symantec has announced the launch of Norton Smartphone Security, the consumer mobile security offering to provide a solution for both the Windows Mobile and Symbian OS in one product. This new product features Norton AntiVirus technology as well as a firewall and antispam for SMS.
“Smartphones are expanding consumer freedom to communicate and access important information anytime, anywhere,” said Rowan Trollope, senior vice president, Consumer Business Unit, Symantec. “However, unsecure public WiFi or network connections can put users at risk. In addition, Web and e-mail viruses can directly infect smartphones, enabling hackers to remotely control the device, access sensitive information or disable applications. Norton Smartphone Security runs discreetly in the background, providing the confidence and peace of mind to engage in everyday activities like e-mailing, Web browsing or banking online from these handheld devices.”
Norton Smartphone Security provides security, including Antivirus, Antispam for SMS, Firewall, and Platform Compatibility.
