F-Secure Solutions for Smartphones and Tablets Now Available in Google Play and the Apple App Store

The solutions provide top-level security and parental control in an environment of increased smartphone and tablet vulnerability to Internet threats.

F-Secure mobile solutions are now available from the trusted online stores Google Play and the Apple App Store. F-Secure Mobile Security, which provides the latest up-to-date protection for Android phones and tablets, can be purchased on Google Play for just £8.18 while F-Secure Child Safe, which is an easy to use browser for parental control and safe surfing for iPads and iPhones, is available from the Apple App Store.

F-Secure has been a leader in mobile security for 10 years. F-Secure Mobile Security was recognised in March 2012 for its excellent performance with a detection rate in AV-TEST’s Android mobile anti-malware test, which covered 41 products.

Complete security package for Android phones

The F-Secure Mobile Security that is available on Google Play comes packed with a full-range of powerful safety features. If the Android phone is stolen, it can be remotely locked and all data can be erased on it. If the SIM card is changed, the device is locked automatically and the thief’s phone number is sent to the owner. With the remote locate function the device can be located at any time. Other cutting-edge functionalities include parental control, safe surfing as well as protection against viruses, spyware and other harmful applications.

As F-Secure’s latest Mobile Threat Report indicates, mobile malware families and variants are growing rapidly, especially targeting Android platforms, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.** Protection against billing scams or spy-tools that steal contacts for spam lists is crucial.

“Android users can now easily upload the app and track their phone if it is lost or stolen. Our Mobile Security solution comes also with many other essential features,” says Maria Nordgren, VP Channel Business at F-Secure.

The application provides 15 predefined content categories that can be blocked or allowed, URL reputation for filtering badwebsites and also blocking users from ending up on harmful pages that enable fraud.
