Symantec Mobile AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows Mobile uses Symantec’s LiveUpdate Wireless service to automatically update threat defense signatures to ensure protection against new viruses, Trojans, and worms. In addition, the centralized management feature enables administrators to configure, lock, and enforce security policies on the smartphone from a centralized console.
Symantec Mobile AntiVirus 4.0 for Windows Mobile is scheduled to be available on 17 November 2006 through Symantec’s direct sales force, enterprise VAR channel, system integrators and select OEM partners.
Symantec also introduces a new Try/Buy license manager that allows organizations and individuals to evaluate the software before purchasing.
