1 INTRODUCTION
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus 12
Key features 12
1.1 F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus consists of the F-Secure Mobile Services platform and the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus client. The F-Secure Mobile Services platform manages and secures user access and acts as a platform for different services. The F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus client is a software product that protects data stored in your Series 60 device against malicious code attacks.
This guide is intended to introduce the main features of the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus client for Series 60, and explain its use. In this manual, the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus client for Series 60 is referred to as F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus is designed to be as transparent as possible. It automatically scans all files when they are accessed. When F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus detects an infected file, it immediately quarantines it to protect all other data on the device. The automatic scanning happens transparently on the background.
To work effectively, the anti-virus software requires an always up-to-date virus definition database. With F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus, you can download the latest virus definition database automatically from your update server.
1.2 Key features
This section lists the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus key features.
Transparent Operation
The application runs in the background while you use your device.
Extensive scanning
The application automatically scans all files when they are accessed. You can also manually scan your device for viruses whenever you want or set a date and time for scheduled scanning.
Automatic updates
The application automatically downloads regular updates to keep the virus definition database up to date. This enables finding and removing even the most recently found viruses.

4.1 Starting F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus
There are two ways to start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus, depending on whether you start it for the first time:
First-time start-up (Activation)
Normal start-up
Activation is performed when you start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus for the first time. Activation is needed for proper virus protection, because by activating F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus you update the virus definition database. For more information about the activation, see "Activating F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus (First-time Start-Up)", 35.
After you have successfully activated the update service during the first-time start-up, you can start using the application. After the activation, you should run a full scan for all files to ensure your device is clean. We also recommend running a full scan whenever prompted by the application. For more information about the normal start-up, see “Starting F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus (Normal Start-Up)”, 40
Next time when you turn on your device, the application starts up automatically in the following cases:
When the real-time scanning mode (default) is enabled (recommended)
If there are known infections in the system
If you have selected the manual or scheduled scanning mode, you need to manually start the application.
4.1.1 Activating F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus (First-time Start-Up)
When you start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus for the first time, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus checks all the files and version information and validates the subscription.
If files are missing or corrupted, the check fails, an error message is displayed and F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus shuts down.
During the first-time start-up, activate the update service in one of the following two ways:
Select the free evaluation period, OR
Enter the subscription number delivered with the application
The free evaluation version has all the same features as the full version.
If you have left your mobile phone number to your device vendor, after the installation you will receive an activation message (an SMS message). If you do not receive the activation message when you start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus for the first time, you can enter the subscription number.
If you do not know your subscription number, contact your service provider or retailer.
To activate the update service:
- Press the Menu key and scroll to the icon.
- Open the application. The Welcome screen is displayed.
- Press OK to start the activation process. The following screen is displayed:
This screen is displayed in the following cases:
The application does not detect a service activation SMS
Current installation is not a device vendor case with a key file
Despite an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) installation, you chose the full version
Trial period has expired
Device re-flash is required
- Do one of the following:
To begin the evaluation period purchased by the device vendor, press Options Change, change the activation type to Free evaluation, and press Done, OR
To have the full version, select Subscription number as the activation type, and press Done. Then enter your subscription number and press OK.
- In the screen that is displayed, do the following:
a. Press Options Change to select an Internet access point from the list of existing Internet access points.
b. Press Options Select, and then press Done and continue from step 7.
The Internet access point settings are operator specific.
- If no Internet access points are defined, a message is displayed prompting you to define a new one. To define a new Internet access point:
a. In the message screen, press Yes to define a new Internet access point.
b. Press Options New Access Point.
c. Select either Use default settings or Use existing settings and follow the instructions on your device screen.
- After you have selected or defined an Internet access point, press Yes to connect to the update service and start downloading the updates, or press No to cancel the activation.
If you cancel the activation, a confirmation message is displayed that prompts you to confirm the cancellation.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus connects to the update service and submits your subscription number. During the first update, the server registers your application and downloads a new virus definition database. If an application update is available, a confirmation message is displayed asking if you want to download it.
If the virus definition database version requires an application update, the application update is downloaded automatically.
- When the download is complete, a message is displayed showing that you have successfully been registered at the update service and that the application is activated. Press OK to continue.
If the application could not connect to the update service, the updating failed or the subscription could not be authenticated, an error message is displayed. For more information on update errors, see "Troubleshooting", 77.
- In the next screen, press Ok to complete the activation.
The application has a built-in automatic update feature. When it detects a data connection, an update is performed automatically. Automatic updates are performed once a day at most, providing there is an active connection to the Internet. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus does not, however, open a connection, but it recognizes a connection being opened by, for example, a Web browser. New virus definition database is downloaded automatically; if there is an application update on the update server, you will get a notification.
To change the default Automatic Update setting, go to the Update settings view and press Options Change to select the desired mode.
4.1.2 Starting F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus (Normal Start-Up)
Normal start-up is executed when you open application after successfully completing the activation. During the start-up process, the application checks the following:
Service subscription date
Existence of known infections
Whether a new virus definition database is in use
Whether the virus definition database has been updated during the past seven days.
If the check fails, an error message is displayed prompting you to reinstall the application.
Depending on the selected scanning mode and the number of known infections in the device, the application starts automatically when you switch on your device. After activation, you are prompted to scan the whole device.
You are prompted to run a full scan also if there were known infections when F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus was last running and you chose not to disinfect or delete the infected files, next time you start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus, it prompts you to run a full scan.
To start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus:
- If, during the activation, a new application version was installed and restarted, the following message is displayed:
- Press Yes to run a full scan.
Pressing No cancels the query and takes you back to the Main view.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus runs a full scan displaying a progress bar and the number of files that have been scanned.
When the scan is finished or stopped, the scan results display the number of:
Infected files that were detected
Files that were not scanned
Scanned files
A number of icons appear in the Scan results screen. The following table lists the icons and their meaning in each category.
| Infected | Not scanned | Scanned | |
| √ | None | All files were scanned | The number of files scanned completed |
| 1 | - | The number of files that could not be opened for scanning | - |

VIRUS SCAN
Overview 54
Scanning Modes 54
Running a Manual Scan 55
Viewing Scan Results 56
6.1 Overview
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus is configured to provide you with complete protection against malicious code attacks. If real-time scanning is enabled, when the data on your device is accessed or modified, the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus automatically scans it for malicious content. Alternatively, you can schedule a custom scan to automatically run on a specific date and time, or at periodic intervals. If you temporarily disable the real-time scanning, we recommend scheduling a custom scan or periodically run a manual scan. In addition, if you want to make sure there are no infected files in your device, or if you do not want to use the real-time scanning, you can manually scan all the data for viruses whenever you want.
6.2 Scanning Modes
The following scanning modes are available in F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus:
Real-time scanning (recommended) - set the application to automatically scan files for malicious content when they are accessed or modified. In this mode, the application is running in the background, and when a virus is found in a file, it is immediately quarantined and added to the file list for further processing.
IMPORTANT: If you disable the real-time scanning, you should manually scan your device each time you transfer any new data to your device.
Once per day/Once per week (Scheduled scanning) - set the time for the scheduled scan to scan all your files daily or weekly, at a pre-designated time. If no viruses are found, the application shuts down automatically; if infected files are found, they are displayed in the scan results.
Manual scanning - manually run a full scan on your device and inserted memory card.
For more information on setting the scanning mode, see "Scan Settings", 46; for more information on viewing scan results, see "Viewing Scan Results", 56.
6.3 Running a Manual Scan

UPDATING
Overview 66
Viewing Update Information 66
Updating F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus 68
8.1 Overview
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus includes an update service, which means that F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can be updated regularly to keep the virus definition database up to date. An up-to-date virus definition database is needed for proper functioning of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus: only an up-to-date virus definition database enables finding and removing even the most recently found viruses.
The virus definition database contains information of all the viruses that F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can find during the scan. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus requires an active Internet connection to connect to the update service for receiving virus definition database updates and keeping virus protection up to date.
When a new virus or other malicious software emerges, a new virus definition database update can be retrieved from the update service. It is important that you keep your virus definition database up to date. Only with up-to-date virus definition database, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus can find all the latest viruses and thus ensure you the best possible protection.
8.2 Viewing Update Information
To see the date of the last virus definition database update, start F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus and scroll to the Status view.
The following information is displayed:
Last update
Subscription valid until/ Not valid/Expired
The date of the last update.
The expiry date of the update service. You should renew your license prior to the expiration. For more information, see Appendix A. Purchasing Subscription Service Time, or contact your retailer.
Last full scan
The date of a last full scan.
i Your copy of F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus includes a license. During this time, you can freely update your F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus. When your license expires, you can update your copy only after renewing your license.
8.3 Updating F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus
You can manually update F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus whenever you want, or you can configure it automatically to download updates every time there is an active connection to the Internet.
F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus does not open a connection, but it recognizes a connection being opened by, for example, a Web browser.
For information about enabling automatic updates, see "Update Settings", 48.
8.3.1 Updating Virus Definition Database
When both the Automatic Update feature and the real-time scanning are enabled, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus monitors the Internet activity. When it detects an open connection, it checks the time elapsed since the last successful update of the virus definition database. If more than 24 hours have elapsed, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus automatically downloads the virus definition database update.
IMPORTANT: Automatic Update can be enabled only in the real-time scanning mode.
To manually update F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus:
-
In any of the main views, press Options Update Anti-Virus.
-
Select the Internet access point to connect to the update server. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus connects to the update server and downloads the latest virus definition database. The application takes the virus definition database update into use immediately.
For more information, see the User Guide of your device.
- When the update is complete, press OK to scan your device for viruses. For more information on scanning, see "Running a Manual Scan", 55.
8.3.2 Upgrading the Application
When a new F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus version is available, a message is displayed prompting you to download the application upgrade. The upgrade is downloaded automatically only if the virus definition database version requires it to work properly.
IMPORTANT: Automatic Update can be enabled only in the real-time scanning mode. The connection to the Internet must be active for F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus to check for updates. F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus does not, however, open a connection, but it recognizes a connection being opened by, for example, a Web browser.
After downloading the application upgrade, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus runs a check for necessary storage space and shuts itself down. The components of the old version are removed and the upgrade is installed. When upgrading is complete, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus restarts.
You cannot cancel the upgrade process. However, if you interrupt it by, for example, removing the battery while new files are being installed, an 'Update AV' message is displayed next time you restart F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus. Pressing the Update Anti-Virus button resumes the upgrade process.
If there is not enough storage space to complete the application upgrade, a message is displayed prompting you either to delete some files before continuing the upgrade process or cancel the upgrade process and continue at a later time.

9.1 No Internet Access Points Configured
Q. When trying to connect to the update server, I get a notification that no Internet access points are configured. What causes this?
A. You may have deleted the Internet access point that you selected during the activation. With no defined Internet access point, the application cannot check for updates. Go to the Update settings view and select one of the Internet access points or create a new one.
9.2 Invalid Subscription Number
Q. I receive an 'Invalid subscription number' error message when I enter my subscription number. What should I do?
A. You have entered an invalid subscription number. You should check your subscription number and re-enter it.
9.3 Unable to Connect to Update Server/Update Failure
Q. I have defined an Internet access point, but I am unable to get the updates. What can I do?
A. Check the Internet access point settings with your operator. You should also check that the date and time settings in your device are correct. If you have problems connecting through WAP access points, you should connect through the Internet.
The Internet access point settings are operator specific.
9.4 Update Service Could Not Authenticate Device
Q. I get a notification that the update service cannot authenticate my device. Why?
A. This error message is displayed when the update server cannot authenticate the subscription. Reasons for the authentication failure can be as follows:
The F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus installation folder files have been tampered
There have been more than four attempts to move the F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus installation and service subscription to another device
9.5 Service Has Expired or About to Expire
Q. What should I do when one of the following messages appear on my device screen?
A. If your subscription has expired or is about to expire, F-Secure Anti-Virus notifies you by showing one of the above messages.
If your subscription has expired and you want to renew it, press Yes to purchase more subscription service time. For more information, see Appendix A. Purchasing Subscription Service Time. The other message simply reminds you that your subscription is going to expire in a number of days. The message will disappear in few seconds.
9.6 Virus Definition Database Corrupted or Missing and Virus Protection Not Updated
Q. My virus definition database seems to be corrupted. What should I do?
A. You should immediately update your virus definition database. After that, in the Scan settings view, first go to the Scan view and change the scanning mode to Real-time. Then, go to the Update view and change automatic updates to Enabled.
9.7 Theme Files on Memory Card
Q. Since I started using themes, my phone performs quite slowly. What can I do to improve its performance?
A. To improve the performance, we recommend transferring the theme in use from the memory card and storing it on the device memory.
9.8 Multiple Messages When Purchasing Subscription
Q. When I purchased a subscription, my phone sent multiple subscription messages. After the purchase, I received multiple messages to my phone. Why? Are you billing the subscription more than once?
A. Purchasing the application or more subscription service time by using the Phone bill payment method is based on your GSM operator's service costs.
When purchasing, you may be required to send multiple messages, because the price of one subscription message may not cover the subscription price. For example, if the cost of the subscription period is six euros and your GSM operator charges the nominal value of two euros per a subscription message, three messages will be automatically sent to cover the subscription price. In some cases, you may also receive multiple response messages.
9.9 Automatic Updates Generating Data Traffic
Q. How much data traffic automatic updates generate?
A. When the Automatic Update feature is enabled and when the connection to the Internet is active, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus checks for updates once a day at most. Depending on the amount of available updates, every checking generates 2-4 KB. For example, if you are connected to the Internet at least once a day, automatic updates generate approximately an extra 100 KB a month. If your GSM operator bills you one euro per 1MB, the automatic updates add approximately 10 cents to your phone bill.
If an updated application is also available, because of the large amount of data, F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus displays the amount of data to be downloaded and prompts you for confirmation before starting to download the updated application.
