F-Secure today announces a mobile product line extension to its
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus family, which now provides support for
the new Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. This release
represents a platform extension to the already existing F-Secure
Mobile Anti-Virus for Windows Mobile 2003 version. Speaking about
the new development, Antti Vihavainen, Vice President, Mobile
Security at F-Secure said: “This is a logical next step for our
mobile antivirus product development and recognition of the great
significance of Microsoft as a player in the mobile phone market.
Windows Mobile is an advanced open operating system and it is
likely that it will become a target of virus writers in the future
as its popularity grows.”
With the announcement of this release, F-Secure can now offer
support for all Windows Mobile platforms, both 2003 and 5.0, both
Pocket PC and Smartphone. Examples of Pocket PC devices using
Windows Mobile 5.0 are QTek9000, QTek9100 and MDA Pro. Examples of
Smartphone devices using Windows Mobile 5.0 are QTek8300 and
QTek8310. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus 2.1 for Windows Mobile has an
extended language support (English, Finnish, French, German,
Italian, Spanish and Swedish). It also supports square-screen
devices such as HP iPAQ 6515.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus provides real-time, on-device
protection against harmful content with automatic over-the-air
antivirus updates. It is the world’s first and most widely
available mobile operator antivirus service.
