F-Secure today announces with F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus its
support for S60 3rd Edition platform, the newest generation of the
world's leading smartphone software platform. S60 is an open
platform for software developers and the Symbian OS 9.1 based S60
3rd edition has added even more features, flexibility and security.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus 3.0 for S60 3rd is a first for F-Secure
to produce an antivirus product for this platform.
Speaking about the new anti-virus product, Antti Vihavainen,
Vice President, Mobile Security, said: As mobile malware authors
continue to increase their assault on the platform, Symbian and
especially S60 has shown itself to be a large target because of its
great popularity. While the S60 3rd edition offers greater
protection than its predecessors, the ultimate security comes from
the installation of a reliable automatically updated antivirus
service which we at F-Secure offer.
Vihavainen continued that F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus will
incorporate a next-generation scanning engine for mobile devices
making it faster and more efficient compared to previous versions.
The new software client has also faster application updates by only
updating the software elements that have changed since the last
update. The software supports 27 languages.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus 3.0 for S60 3rd Edition is
available first for new Nokia Nseries mobile computers and new
Nokia Eseries devices. In Nokia N71 and N80, F-Secure Mobile
Anti-Virus will be distributed as the default antivirus application
in the standard device sales package. In the Nokia E60, E61 and E70
devices, the antivirus client will be easily downloadable through
Nokia Catalogs.
The F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus will also be available for the
corporate channel and the consumer market with a retail box in
Italian, Finnish and English. It can also be directly purchased
