Mobile phones are becoming more and more sophisticated and complex. They are no longer inferior to PDAs in functionality. Malware for smartphones is now evolving, and seems likely to become a growing threat as smartphones gain popularity. There are currently around 40 viruses, worms, and Trojans that have been detected on smartphones in many European countries and the USA.
In June 2004, Kaspersky Lab was the first antivirus vendor to detect and remove malware on Symbian and Windows CE mobile platforms. Today the company continues to be at the forefront in mobile user protection from malicious code. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile uses fewer system resources compared to other solutions available on the market. This leads to quicker processing of commands and allows users to install more applications.
