F-Secure Corporation, the global leader in providing security as a service through mobile operators and Internet Service Providers, today announced its award-winning Mobile Security solution for the Windows Mobile platform. The solution brings new levels of protection for Windows Mobile Smartphone and PocketPC users.

F-Secure Mobile Security enables smartphone users to enjoy the full potential of their devices without the fear of mobile threats. The application combines real-time antivirus and antispyware functionality with a firewall, ensuring complete protection in today’s connected lives. A firewall provides additional security for all mobile devices that access public networks like Wi-Fi. The solution also delivers automatic over-the-air antivirus updates.

F-Secure Mobile Security prevents malware from:

• causing unwanted billing as they try to spread or call premium rate numbers
• deleting valuable information from the device
• making the device unusable
• sending information from the device to third parties

With this latest launch of its Mobile Security product, F-Secure now provides a complete security suite with firewall, antivirus and antispyware functionality for all the main mobile platforms running an open operating system: Windows Mobile, Symbian S60 and UIQ. F-Secure Mobile Security can be subscribed from selected mobile operators as a service, purchased directly from the F-Secure eStore at: http://www.f-secure.com/estore/ or bought from resellers worldwide. The product will be available during the second quarter.
