AVG Mobile Security available as a free beta

Security software firm Grisoft has launched their mobile security application AVG Mobile Security as a freely downloadable beta.

This security suite has been specifically developed for mobile devices and supports Symbian UIQ 3.0-based mobile phones.

As a result, the application is compatible with Sony Ericsson’s P990i, M600i and W950i handsets.

The company said that the application suite comes loaded with SMS antispam and anti-virus tools and feature comprehensive system settings for scan scheduling and creating whitelists.

Larry Bridwell, Global Security Strategist at Grisoft added: “Hackers are now finding ways to access mobile phone data and we want to ensure that our users stay protected.”

The company further claimed that there are around 350 mobile viruses and threats today and these are increasing as the mobile platform becomes more popular to access the web.
