Blackberry Phones To Receive AntiSpam Software
Posted by John Vinson
Mobile computing is becoming popular enough, that perhaps we should start being aware of spam and malware popping up on these devices. At least that’s the feeling I received when reading about the anti-virus and anti-spam services from SmrtGuard for Blackberry Smartphones.
The Anti-spam feature will be added to the SmrtGuard’s list of services provided, including wireless data backup, remote location tracking, and more. The Anti-spam service will come as part of the SmrtGuard Pro package.
Robert Kao, CEO of SmrtGuard said this of the new services, “Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive mobile security solutions for businesses and individuals, while making it as easy to manage as possible. anti-virus and anti-spam protection was the next logical step for SmrtGuard as smartphones, like PCs, have increasingly become an essential part of our business and personal lives.”
The new anti-spam feature has already been launched for the i-Guard security suite, which is specifically designed for Indosat. The only mobile phone carrier in Indonesia.
Guntur Siboro, chief marketing officer of Indosat said this of the new features, “We’re extremely excited to be able to offer our BlackBerry users these additional protection services. Virus and malware threats to smartphones are becoming increasingly prevalent and SmrtGuard’s innovation allows us to be on the cutting edge of mobile security.”
Along with Blackberry devices, SmrtGuard is available through Android. Along with those platforms, Symbian will be getting its version of SmrtGuard soon as well.
It’s funny how we have to start worrying about virus and spam problems on our mobile devices. Traditionally, our desktop and notebooks were all we had to concern ourselves with in regards to spam. I guess it’s time we shifted our focus to our mobile devices as well.
If you would like to find out more about SmrtGuard, you can find information about their services here. Unfortunately, their anti-spam feature isn’t available with their free service, so you will have to upgrade to SmrtGuard Pro.
