F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus

Today's challenges


The first viruses have emerged for mobile phones and it is possible to create malicious code that makes the phone unusable. A virus can cause false billing, unwanted disclosure of stored information, and deleted, corrupted, modified or stolen user data. Protection against harmful content is required on every smartphone.

The solution


The easiest and the most efficient way to get the required protection is a wireless antivirus service, which allows automated distribution of the antivirus software and updates directly to the mobile device over a wireless connection. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus™ is the most comprehensive solution in the market for protecting mobile devices against harmful content, from viruses to worms and trojans. It provides real-time on-device protection with automatic over-the-air antivirus updates through a patented SMS update mechanism or HTTPS connections. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus is designed to be as easy to use as possible. To prevent infection, all files are automatically intercepted and scanned when they are saved, copied, downloaded, synchronized or otherwise modified. There is no need for user intervention. It scans automatically also all files on memory cards. When an infected file is detected, it is immediately quarantined in order to protect all other data in the system.

  • Transparent real-time protection against harmful content in the device and memory cards
