Panda Software Launches the Beta Version of Panda MobileSecurity

Panda Software presents the beta version of Panda MobileSecurity, the solution for protecting smartphones based on Symbian Series 60. This new tool offers real-time protection for this device against viruses, Trojans, worms, etc., thanks to its system for scanning the internal memory, memory cards or the entire system. The product will include, in the final version, automatic updates and a complete support service, including SOS Virus, where suspicious files can be sent for analysis.

The application runs in parallel and without interference with the normal operation of the phone, scanning all inbound items through any transfer mechanism. Panda MobileSecurity can be customized through a range of protection settings, available on an easy-to-use interface.

Threats to cell phones have advanced from mere concept trials to an emerging reality. The proliferation of entire malware families for these devices, such as Commwarrior or Cardtrap, with the capability of rendering the device unusable, means that the threat can no longer be ignored.
