Kinda funny you name it. Just today, Symantec
announced its "Mobile Security 4.0 for Symbian," which includes
anti-virus protection and (I am holding my breath!)
firewall technologies!
According to the March 2005 bi-annual Internet Security Threat Report issued by Symantec, the first worm to target smartphones, Cabir, was released in June 2004. By the end of December 2004, 11 new variants of Cabir were reported, and in February 2005 Cabir surfaced for the first time in the United States in the wild. Other threats to smartphones also have been reported over the last nine months, including several Trojan horses-e.g., Mos, Skulls, and CommWarrior.
Blabla... and here comes the kick: Symantec Mobile Security 4.0 for Symbian is available as a two-year plan and costs US$44.95. That's more than what I've paid for my cell phone!
