Dr.Web, an IT security solutions provider, has launched its latest solution for Windows Mobile devices. The Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows Mobile is designed to protect Windows Mobile devices from viruses and other Internet-threats.

The mobile anti-virus is not for sale.

It is currently being offered for free to all commercial users of Dr.Web Anti-virus for Windows, Dr.Web Anti-virus+Anti-spam for Windows and Dr.Web SOHO users.

“The idea that users should not pay for protection from threat that do not exist agrees with basic principles of Doctor Web, Ltd.” – Boris Sharov, the company CEO comments on the release – “On the one hand, we think it immoral to sell a product which is not quite useful yet. On the other hand, rapid development of mobile technologies and wide application of the instant payment services will inevitably result in emerging of more dangerous viruses for wireless. We have no doubts that virus makers have started working on commercial viruses for mobile devices a long time ago. Such viruses won’t aim to damage a device which was the beginning of viruses for PC. These will be sophisticated Trojans and spyware. We do understand that the threat though latent is real. That’s why our company has developed a protection from the possible threat. But now there are no dangerous viruses and so there is no threat for users and by now the product is free. So any user of Dr.Web for Windows products can get a free licence and be ready to address a threat at any moment”.
