Web security added to BitDefender Mobile Security BETA

BitDefender has announced the addition of Web security to its BitDefender Mobile Security BETA.

The new feature uses BitDefender Cloud services to alert users to Webpages that contain malware or are fraud-related.

Web links are quickly and invisibly checked against BitDefender’s database and sites that may present a threat are then blocked. From here, the user can choose whether to access the site or not. If the site is reported as being ‘clean’ then the user’s browsing experience will not be interfered with.

Alexandru Balan, senior product manager commented: “The importance of securing mobile devices is growing all the time, with users now faced by a range of threats. In combining BitDefender security technology with a great interface and low system demands, BitDefender Mobile Security offers Android users a fantastic solution for helping make sure they are secure on the move.”

BitDefender Mobile Security BETA provides smart antivirus and Web security for devices running Android. Using in-the-cloud scanning technology, it detects even the latest threats without putting a strain on the battery. The product also provides information about billable services and applications' requirements for access to Internet or private user data, helping users make informed choices about their privacy and data security.

BitDefender Mobile Security BETA is available to download from Android Market for free.
