Norton Smartphone Security helps prevent hackers from breaking into your smartphone.
Smartphones continue to be used like mini personal computers, and like computers, may become targets for hackers, people who break into computers. When you use your smartphone, you may open your phone up to threats when you surf the Web, send and receive email or download pictures, for example. The same threats to your computer, such as spam, viruses and spyware, may also threaten your smartphone. Norton Smartphone Security provides you with features to protect your smartphone.
Protection Updates
Norton gives you the ability to schedule and manage protection updates and anti-virus scans on your smartphone. For instance, on-demand scans allow you to check individual files for viruses. A feature called LiveUpdate brings you wireless virus and product updates. You can also choose which files you want encrypted and set the firewall protection level. Encrypted files have a code entered into the file, so the file becomes unintelligible to others. Firewall protection helps to prevent unauthorized access to your computer or smartphone from the Internet.
Advanced Protection
Norton Smartphone Security automatically scans, finds and quarantines worms, spyware and harmful viruses on your mobile phone applications and files. Norton protects your smartphone from malicious sites and code you may unknowingly download from the Internet or receive by Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or email.
Text messages and other multimedia become blocked when sent from unknown sources for spam protection, including snoopware, a computer program used by hackers to record conversations or take pictures using your phone camera. You also receive alerts, so you can quickly respond to possible threats to your smartphone.
Application and Interface
The Norton Smartphone Security provides you with an interface you will find effortless to use. All activities and events appear in an activity log, so you can see what possible risks to your phone exist. The application helps keep your smartphone performing at its best. You also have support for the Symbian and Microsoft Windows Mobile platforms.
