F-SECURE’S Anti-Theft for Mobile and Mobile Security 6 software now support the Google Android mobile platform, the company announced.
According to the security software company, Android-based devices, like any smartphones, often contain a wealth of confidential information so it is important for them to be secure in case they get lost or stolen.
Anti-Theft for Mobile offers Remote Lock, Theft Control and Remote Wipe functionalities.
Remote Lock allows users to remotely lock the phone and protect the information contained within simply by sending a text message to the device.
If the phone is stolen and the thief changes the SIM card, Theft Control will lock the phone and text its owner of the new number.
As an ultimate safety measure to prevent misuse, it is also possible to send a text message to instruct the software’s Remote Wipe option to erase all data on the phone, F-Secure said.
The updated Mobile Security 6 ships with new features that include Browsing Protection and Remote GPS Locator.
The Browsing Protection feature identifies which websites are safe to enter and which users should avoid.
Anti-Theft for Mobile and Mobile Security 6 retails for RM228 (24-month licence) and RM128 (12-month licence) respectively.
