McAfee Offers Anti-malware Solution For Android In Korea

on 04/29/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

Looks like there is some good news for McAfee, despite the recent boo boo, the security company has announced the availability of its McAfee VirusScan Mobile technology for Google’s Android platform. The strange thing is that it’s currently only available in South Korea for the Motorola XT720 for SK Telecom subscribers. Subscribers are currently able to download it for free via SK’s TStore. The anti-malware solution is designed to protect Android phones against malware, and also secure users’ personal information while ensuring critical communication functions work while users are on the move. Hopefully its automatic protection and real-time scanning don’t drain the juice on your cell phone too much, though.
