As mobile technology is becoming a larger part of our everyday lives, new threats are developed to modify the technology’s integrity. Good news is that Symantec is working to protect the mobile world by recently releasing its newest version of Mobile AntiVirus.

Symantec Corp. has announced the availability of its Mobile AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows Mobile, a software that automatically protects mobile devices from threats transmitted via e-mail and multimedia messaging service (MMS), downloaded from memory cards, the mobile network and Wi-Fi, transmitted by Bluetooth or beamed over infrared connections.

Symantec Mobile AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows Mobile uses Symantec’s LiveUpdate Wireless service to automatically update threat protection signatures to ensure protection against new viruses, Trojans, and worms. Additionally, the centralized management feature enables administrators to configure, lock, and enforce security policies on the handset from a centralized console.[more]

It doesn’t seem like you hear much about security solutions for mobile devices for the time being. It will be interesting when more security companies publicize their solutions to the market as well as their uniqueness from one another.
