ESET Mobile Antivirus Optimizes Heuristic Detection for Mobile Platform; Beta Delivers Unprecedented Speed and Accuracy
San Diego, June 16, 2008 – ESET®, the leader in proactive threat protection, today announced the introduction of ESET Mobile Antivirus,a new security solution for mobile devices. This lightweightanti-malware software takes the company's state-of-the-art heuristictechnology and optimizes it for the mobile platform.
"Widespreadmobile attacks are inevitable in the near future and yet it is likelythat these first attacks will be hard to find before they've done theirdamage," said Brian Burke, program director, Security Products, IDC."Companies like ESET who are effectively applying their proactiveprotection to the mobile platform are most readily-equipped to identifyand prevent the risks that will slip by most signature-based AVsolutions."
One of the biggest challenges for mobile security isthe limited memory, processing and bandwidth capabilities inherent witha small platform. Traditional antivirus approaches, with large andfrequent signature updates, cannot be successfully applied to a mobileenvironment without significantly impacting the phone's performance.
Availablenow in Beta for Windows Mobile users, ESET Mobile Antivirus is able todetect mobile malware attacks while delivering the samehighly-effective, non-intrusive experience on handsets as on PCplatforms. With its small footprint, efficient use of processing powerand compact update files, ESET Mobile Antivirus is an effectivesolution for mobile platforms which have significant memory, processingand bandwidth constraints.
ESET Mobile Antivirus features and benefits include:
- On-demand Scanning— Contains scanning and cleaning of integrated and exchangeable memorymedia, and a full memory/running processes scan. Specific folderscanning is included and results are displayed after a scan.
- Advanced On-access Scanning— Scans all created/used files with enhanced virus detectioncapabilities at access time. ESET Mobile Antivirus scans incoming filesvia wireless connections as well (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Infrared).
- Activity Log— Stores statistics about accomplished scanning tasks and latestdatabase status in a user-friendly format. A variable range of scanresults-history is included.
- Variable In-depth Scanning of Cab Files — Enables users to set the level of cab files scanning to the preferred depth.
- Automatic/On-demand Updates— Ensures up-to-date protection against all threat types. Users canschedule updates on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Daily updates areset by default, and users are also allowed to switch off automaticupdates if they prefer.
- Intuitive User Interface — Users' experience is enhanced by easy-to-set dialogs and intuitive menu.
- Compact Updates— ESET's update files are typically a fraction of the size of solutionsthat are more dependent upon signatures, consuming less bandwidth tothe mobile device (this benefits carriers and users).
"Ourresearch indicates that consumers and businesses are looking for asolution that will combat the imminent problem of mobile malware withmaximum protection, minimal performance impact and small dailyupdates," said Anton Zajac, CEO of ESET, LLC. "With more and more usersrequiring mobile devices to send sensitive e-mail and SMS messages, weset out to build the optimal solution for mobile users—an intelligentmobile solution that offers the same level of protection they've cometo expect from ESET."
