McAfee has released the second
version of its mobile security
software called Mobile Security
2.0 for smartphones and tablets.
The new version of the software
comes at a time when malware is
on a rise on mobile platforms
such as the Android causing
grave security concerns.
McAfee realises that it can
generate substantial revenue
with the launch of this software,
given the increasing popularity
of devices like smartphones and
tablets. McAfee is aiming to
capture a large portion of the
mobile user market as it has
marked the price at £24 per year.
John Thode, EVP and general
manager of consumer, mobile
and small business at McAfee
spoke, "It is increasingly clear
that using a smartphone without
security means any sensitive
information, such as photo, band
account information or company
data on that mobile device is at
risk of falling into the wrong
hands," reported the Inquirer.
The software is equipped with a
new feature called the app alert
system that monitors and
provides information about how
your apps access data. There is
also a facility of filtering which
enables the user to block
unwanted calls and spam text
messages.
Mobile Security 2.0 is designed
such that it is compatible with
Android, Blackberry and Symbian
devices, but the app alert is only
available for Android.http://ksp2347.blogspot.com
