ESET Announces Availability of Antivirus for Smartphones
MarketWatch
The increasing quantity of personal and company data stored on
these devices, including data unknowingly stored in browser caches, make
mobile devices especially vulnerable to malware and other malicious
exploits. By utilizing ESET’s NOD32 scanning technology,
this lightweight anti-malware software has been optimized to proactively
protect mobile devices from the latest malicious attacks. The addition
of spam protection for SMS messaging adds another layer of security. “After experiencing performance issues with a
mobile antivirus solution offered by a large security vendor, I
downloaded ESET Mobile Antivirus when it became available in beta form
because I had used ESET NOD32 for years and had been extremely impressed
with the accuracy and speed of the desktop solution,”
said Walter Goddard a service manager at Superwinch Inc. “Aside
from the peace of mind ESET provides by proactively protecting me from
malicious attacks, the greatest benefit is that it has virtually no
impact on my phone’s performance. ”
One of the biggest challenges to providing mobile security for smaller
platforms like smartphones is their inherently limited memory,
processing, battery and bandwidth capabilities. With its light
footprint, efficient use of processing power, ability to scan removable
memory devices and compact update files, ESET Mobile Antivirus
effectively delivers protection against attacks, within the constraints
of mobile devices.
