1 INTRODUCTION

F-Secure Mobile Security 6

Key features 6

1.1 F-Secure Mobile Security

F-Secure Mobile Security is a software product that protects data stored on your Windows Mobile device against malicious code attacks and protects the device from network intrusion attempts.
F-Secure Mobile Security scans all files for viruses automatically when they are saved, copied, downloaded, synchronized or otherwise modified. All infected files are immediately quarantined to protect all other data on the device. The automatic scanning happens transparently on the background.

To work effectively, antivirus software requires an always up-to-date virus definition database. F-Secure Mobile Security retrieves the latest virus definition databases automatically.

1.2 Key features

F-Secure Mobile Security offers the following key features.

Transparent Operation

The application runs in the background while you use your device.

Extensive Scanning

The application scans all files when they are accessed. You can also manually scan your device for viruses whenever you want.

Automatic Updates

The application downloads regular updates to keep the virus definition database up-to-date automatically.

Firewall

The application protects you from potential network harm by blocking connections that do not meet the set security criteria.

Anti-theft

You can remotely lock your mobile device or wipe the data stored on the device if it is stolen.
