Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- McAfee, Inc. today announced that McAfee VirusScan Mobile and McAfee VirusScan Mobile Enterprise Edition are now available for the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. Today's announcement broadens the scope of platforms protected by McAfee's mobile security software, and helps protect users of Windows Mobile 5.0 against the latest malware and attacks, including recent SMiShing attacks (phishing scams via SMS).

Mobile devices are the next frontier for hackers and virus writers. Mobile devices that access the Internet and receive or send text messages may be vulnerable to malware. Some devices, especially smartphones, can obtain viruses from downloading and installing an application. Mobile viruses can spread to contacts that users have stored on their mobile phones. In enterprises, these viruses can pose a serious threat to the network and can contribute to loss of service and productivity. McAfee VirusScan Mobile helps prevent the unintentional sending of infected text messages, and/or e-mail attachments to friends, family and co-workers. Read more
