McAfee VirusScan Mobile - AntiVirus for Symbian OSIt seems that before F-Secure released their Mobile AntiVirus application two days ago, McAfee has announced their own virus protection solutions named McAfee VirusScan Mobile. This software will provide comprehensive mobile security solutions that are designed to protect against and prevent mobile threats and vulnerabilities. However, it is currently being available only for Cingular Wireless customers. Those lucky mobile device users can download the anti-virus to their Symbian Series 60, Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC or SmartPhone wireless devices. Not for free though. A one-year subscribtion from McAfee through Cingular’s MediaNet Web portal is offered for $29.99. This will include an automatic, over-the-air updates against any newly discovered mobile viruses and threats.

McAfee VirusScan Mobile will try to scan, detect, and clean your mobile data to prevent corruption due to viruses, worms, spyware, malware, and other technology abuses. Threats from e-mail, instant messaing, and Internet downloads will be protected, as well as multiple entry points such as SMS, MMS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Up-to-date protection is delivered as soon as threats are identified through McAfee’s leading research organization, AVERT (Anti-Virus Emergency Response Team).

According to the company, they will soon introduce McAfee Firewall Mobile, which provides protection against hackers and data-stealing applications, monitoring both inbound and outbound communication for malicious behavior, in the second quarter of 2006.
