Mobile Antivirus for 2011

2010 has been great year for smart phones and iPads. Major Smartphone companies sold record breaking number of smartphone throughout the year 2010. On the other hand people spend lot of time with smartphone for checking emails, do internet banking and general web surfing. It is almost functional as desktop computer.

Do you really need protection for your smartphone?

That is the first questions you would ask. Even though number of viruses and hacking attacks are very little experts have been predicting an outbreak of mobile malware.

When it comes to mobile security there are different set of requirements that you need to consider on top of the old school security protocols. Smartphone antivirus needs to provide real time protection. For example while browsing the internet, installing applications and firewall protection. On top of that there are more challenges. The device itself is small and mobile it can easily misplaced and you need a solution to find it or clean up the sensitive information from your mobile in case someone stole it. Do not forget your mobile is not only connected to internet but to the mobile networks. It is possible to attack a mobile device using fake mobile signal tower. How about blocking unwanted calls and SMS?

Android, Apple iPhone OS and windows mobile OS 7 are the three latest and major mobile operating systems used by the todays smart phones. What are the best protections available for these OS.

Antivirus solutions for Windows Mobile (6.5 and before) and Symbian

However, it is only design for Windows mobile (up to6.5) and Symbian (Nokia only) phone. This will cost you $41.95 for 1 year for 1 device.
Following is list of mobile antivirus that will support Windows Mobile 6.5

• AhnLab Mobile Security 
• Avast! PDA Edition
• Avira AntiVir Mobile
• BitDefender Mobile Security

Like I mentioned before, Windows Mobile 6.5 and Symbian are becoming the old school mobile platforms.

Antivirus for Android

 AVG is one of the most popular and effective free antivirus for your desktop computer. AVG has free antivirus solution for your android mobile. Free version provides the essential security features, theft protection and basic SMS spam protection. If you required more features there is always paid version for only $9.99.

SmrtGuard Mobile Security
It’s a no cost android application that safeguards the Google Android mobile phones from virus. Apart from that, SmrtGuard includes additional mobile phone safety measures ‘Find Phone via GPS , Audio Ping, Remote Lock, Call Blocker and Sim Card Guardian features.

Antivirus for iPhone
iPhone is more secure and stable comparing to other mobile device as result of closed and controlled system Apple uses. Therefore, there is a little chance that your iPhone will be affected with viruses by downloading application. However, only possibility is through surfing the web.

Trend Smart surfing provides a secure web surfing browser for iPhone users. If you attempt to access a bad or malicious URL, Smart Surfing is designed to block access to the URL and a notification will appear in the browser.

Still there is not much need of an antivirus solution for latest smart phones as they manage to provide a much better platform than the computers. Security experts always warn that there is a great possibility that malwares will be spread around for mobile devices sooner or later. It is always better to be prepared.

Apple white iPhone 4 Conspiracy

White is the colour that goes with Apple products. Mac computers and equipments are in white. Some argued as a plus point while other didn't like it. For me colour is not a problem. However, it seems like Apple is having problems releasing white iPhone 4 even though they advertise it in the iPhone 4 gallery.
Apple even removed the white iPhone 4 from the Apple store but still you can see it in the iphone gallery. There were rumors that Apple is going to launch long waited white iPhone 4, but it seems like it is not going to happened soon.

Some of the reasons that might cause the delay

sensor issues
light leaks
problems bonding the color to the glass
inability to match the home button to the faceplate

Is there a link between the reason news; Chinese iPhone factory workers getting sick? May be or may be not. However, there is a possibility that this is a part of Apples marketing strategy. Once the iPhone 4 (black) sells are reduced they will introduce the white iPhone 4 with upgrades.

Are you are waiting to buy white iPhone 4?

Is it safe to Jailbreak your iPhone?

Jailbreaking iPhone will open up your iPhone to install apps that Apple did not approved. It removes the Apple's content restrictions. According to Eric Monti, a Senior Researcher at Trustwave's Spider Labs, it will open the door to mobile malware. You need to think twice before you jailbreak your iPhone or iPad.

Hi-lights

hackers to "jailbreak" iPhones and iPads from Apple's content restrictions could be used to push rootkit-style malware onto those devices and intercept credit card data from an iPhone-based transaction.

Monti designed a proof of concept iPhone rootkit, dubbed "Fat" by modifying the original jailbreakme code to create a stripped down remote monitoring application.

mong other things, the researcher removed system prompts created by the jailbreakme app and added a rootkit feature to remotely control such key iPhone features as the microphone, camera and geolocation services, as well as SMS

Monti used a free iPhone credit card transaction reader,"Square," on a rooted iPhone, showing how magnetic stripe data could be silently siphoned by the rootkit

It is always safe not to jailbreak your iPhone. If you really want to then do it on your own risk and may be it is a good idea to use a testing phone or avoid giving out sensitive information such as banking and credit card details.

iPhone 4 Glass Breaks, Cracks More Than iPhone 3GS

iPhone 4G is like Microsoft Vista, never had a break. Even though Apple try to give the best mobile experience to its customers through iPhone 4G major issues are reported time to time.

1. Deathgrip antenna issues
2. Wifi connectivity problems
3. Scratched surfaces
4. Cracked screens

According to the iPhone glass study and analyzed by SquareTrade, iPhone accidents for over 20,000 iPhone 4s covered by SquareTrade Care Plans and found a 82% increase in reported broken screens compared to the iPhone 3gs.


Apple point of view this is not the ideal time for such a report as Microsoft come up with its Windows Mobile 7 phones to fight against the Apple iPhone and Android phones are doing well in the market.

Highlights of the study include:

• iPhone 4 owners reported 82% more damaged screens in the first 4 months compared to iPhone 3gs owners.
• Overall, the reported accident rate for iPhone 4s was 68% higher than for the iPhone 3gs.
• An estimated 15.5% of iPhone 4 owners will have an accident within a year of buying their phone.

I think Apple need to address these issue in iPhone 4GS. You should not forget that phone come with user friendly interface and it rarely crash and there are thousands of cool features. Apple should not loose the quality of the product because of the competition.
