McAfee VirusScan Mobile Available for Windows Mobile 5

McAfee, Inc. announced that McAfee VirusScan Mobile and McAfee VirusScan Mobile Enterprise Edition are now available for the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. McAfee's mobile security software helps protect users against the latest malware and attacks, including recent SMiShing attacks (phishing scams via SMS).

"The need for mobile virus protection has never been greater," said Victor Kouznetsov, senior vice president of mobile technology at McAfee, Inc. "As organizations extend their mobile workforces, the need to protect a broader range of platforms becomes more critical. Now, users of Windows Mobile 5.0 can have the same worry-free experience as other mobile device users."

McAfee VirusScan Mobile and McAfee VirusScan Mobile Enterprise Edition protect Windows Mobile 5.0 user devices from attacks via SMS, MMS, Bluetooth and other entry points. The software protects against the threats that originate from e-mail, instant messaging, internet downloads and Web surfing, automatically detecting and cleaning infected files before they can attack the device. Up-to-date protection is delivered as soon as threats are identified.

McAfee VirusScan Mobile automatically secures mobile devices; it scans and cleans files, e-mails, Internet downloads, text messages, and attachments. The McAfee subscription model ensures that devices can be protected as long as users own their phones. Always-on protection identifies and removes viruses, Trojans, worms, and other malicious applications without interrupting connections.
