Mobile Security

HTCWinMob

Ok with more and more people getting smartphones thought it might be worth starting a thread on mobile security and getting some thoughts on what's out there and what people think is best so readers know what their options are in respect to protecting themselves when surfing the web etc on their phones.

Personally, I use airscanner and have done for a while. Provides antivirus, firewall and encryption so I'm protected at all times (bundle). Can't fault it so I've never changed. Products are also available individually.

I know f-secure, Kaspersky, Norton and Bullguard all provide solutions but have never used them so can't comment. I'm sure there are others too! All the afore mentioned have free trials but in the end you have to buy user licences.

I have never come across a completely free mobile security solution (although I'm sure the likes of comodo, avg and the rest of the freeware suppliers will come out with an offering at some point).

Please add your thoughts/experiences/recommendations

I know that The good people at "spybot search and destroy" have some free software but its only suitable for Windows mobile and symbian.

I haven't personally tested it myself so I can't say how well it works ....

Good find and FREE. Only downside I can see to this program is that it doesn't run in the background, you have to instigate a search. Ideal for anyone who doesn't browse often imo.
