With the recent increase in mobile use for many things beside communication the treat to users security has increased. It is crazy that many Smartphone users think everything they do is secured or at least that has been my experience with some of my friends that don’t spend as much time reading blogs and news like I do. I always say that a BlackBerry is as secure as the person using is knowledgeable on the subject. So it is not surprisingly that many companies are porting their Security software to smartphones. BullGuard is one of those companies and they have a sweet deal going on.

BullGuard’s Mobile Antivirus is a special edition, aimed at the technically proficient first movers, who have more or less moved all of their activities from their computer to their phone because it’s convenient, but who are also aware that this constitutes a major risk.
“All the risks that are a part of your life when you go online from your computer are just as real when you use your phone to check for Facebook or Twitter updates and news, to receive e-mails and access your bank account. The technically savvy users have caught on to this, and are looking for the right software to protect their phone, personal details and money” said Morten Rinder Stengaard, Product Manager at BullGuard.
Basically, viruses and other types of malware don’t care what device you use. They just need your phone to be switched on – that way they can call paid services, send text messages, steal and exploit personal information such as credit card details, passwords, phone numbers and the like. In short, a smartphone without proper protection puts you at risk.
“While mobile phones do not need to have extensive functionality to be infected by a virus – malicious code also spreads via text messages – malware is certainly most likely to spread from applications developed for smartphones. Smartphones are obviously susceptible to the risks you would normally associate with internet activity – e.g. phishing – and because the devices enable it, smartphone users store a lot of data that is vulnerable to illegal activity,” elaborated Morten Rinder Stengaard.
BullGuard has been working with mobile security technologies since 2005, when the company was among the very first to launch a mobile security product. BullGuard Mobile Security 10 is the result of a dedication to provide end users with security for the platforms that are relevant to them at any given time:
“We’re proud to present a security solution which offers superior protection, more features and covers more platforms than any other product available today,” stated Morten Rinder Stengaard. “None of the other major vendors cover Android who has a 28% market share worldwide, and our features are far more technically advanced and user-friendly. A good example is our extensive web based interface, which enables you to control and monitor your device remotely: from here you can access your device if it gets stolen, as well as lock it, wipe it, run backups and alarms, and parents can monitor their kid’s phone from any computer,” said Morten Rinder Stengaard.
The full BullGuard Mobile Security 10 suite includes: Antivirus, Antispyware, Antitheft, Parental Control, Firewall, Spamfilter, Basic Backup, Support.
Operating Systems: BullGuard runs on Android, Symbian, Windows and Blackberry phones, covering 80% of the smartphone market.
Price: $29.95
