Today’s announcement broadens the scope of platforms protected by McAfee’s mobile security software, and helps protect users of Windows Mobile 5.0 against the latest malware and attacks, including recent SMiShing attacks (phishing scams via SMS).Mobile devices are the next frontier for hackers and virus writers. Mobile devices that access the Internet and receive or send text messages may be vulnerable to malware. Some devices, especially smartphones, can obtain viruses from downloading and installing an application. Mobile viruses can spread to contacts that users have stored on their mobile phones. In enterprises, these viruses can pose a serious threat to the network and can contribute to loss of service and productivity. McAfee VirusScan Mobile helps prevent the unintentional sending of infected text messages, and/or e-mail attachments to friends, family and co-workers.”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. The software detects malware at multiple entry and exit points, including e-mail, instant message attachments, Internet downloads, SMS, MMS, WiFi and Bluetooth.When viruses, worms, Trojans, or other threats are found, inline cleaning automatically cleans the devices. Updates run silently in the background, ensuring that users are always protected from emerging and evolving security threats. MMS, SMS, and E-mail attachment scanning scans attachments as they are received or as they are sent. Future-proof protection is provided by scanning all file system access, regardless of entry method.McAfee VirusScan Mobile is available for download as a free 30-day trial from http://mobile.mcafee.com.

“Here are some first comments after spending a few days with the H610. A stylish design, less stunning of course than when we discovered the Loox N100, the first “iPod GPS”, but it is light and compact and will be easy to carry along wherever you go, a real “consumer” GPS Convenient connectors : miniUSB (PC connection and charging), 3.5mm headphone jack, SD port, external antenna in the standard MMCX format Three buttons : on/off, menu and a “hold” cursor that will prevent unwanted operation while the H610 resides in a pocket or a bag” Find out more about this nice device here:

“Being a slider, the E900 gets some points back, as picking/hanging up don’t not require any button to be pushed, you can simply open or close the phone. You can setup any key answer in the menu, in this way keypad will remain locked, but MP3 or camera buttons will allow you to answer a call without sliding the device open. In winter this form-factor may become an advantage, since sensor keys might perform badly during cold weather, as it was tested with different keypads sporting similar technology. Model is powered with auto-sliding mechanism, so that it opens up easily, even though the opening movement is incomplete, this is where differences with other Samsung products arise.” Read more here:
