Security Software for Mobile Devices Gets Serious as Threat Grows

To put a new twist on an old ad campaign, viruses aren't just for Windows machines any more.

Malware, phishing attacks and Trojans are following the money — which means following the users and taking aim at more mobile platforms. Those targets now include Apple's ions, Google's Android operating system, popular social-networking sites and even Nokia’s soon-to-be defunct Symbian OS.

According to a recent report from security software vendor McAfee, mobile malware increased 46 percent from 2009 to 2010, and 55,000 new malware threats are emerging every day.

Fortunately, security firms aren't standing still, said Catalan Crosio, head of the online-threats lab at Bucharest, Romania-based security company Bit Defender.
There are at least a dozen new programs that are designed to protect Smartphone owners, ranging from simple Smartphone location-and-wipe services to virus scanners and text blockers, with an increasing emphasis on the Android platform.

AVG: The Czech company offers a free AVG Antivirus program for Android phones and a $9.99 Pro version that scans handsets, warns of potentially unsafe settings and offers remote location should the phone be lost.

Bit Defender: The Company offers Bit Defender Mobile Security for Nokia's Symbian phones and Windows Mobile 6 phones, and has an almost-finished “beta” version of Safeco for Facebook available to help social-network users avoid malware attacks.
Lookout: Lookout Mobile Security is available for Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones. A free version includes a lost-phone location service, backup and scanning that analyzes apps as you download them. A premium version with more features is available for the Android platform for $29.99 a year.

Jaspers Lab: Kaspersky Mobile Security 9 protects Symbian and Windows Mobile 5/6 phones with real-time anti-malware scans, lost-phone location and additional encryption and password features. The software is $29.95 a year.

McAfee: McAfee Mobile Security for Enterprise is designed for corporate IT departments with phones running Windows Mobile 5 or 6. It offers complete scanning and works to prevent threats from spreading wirelessly onto an enterprise network. For individual users, there's McAfee Wave Secure for Android, Blackberry, Symbian, and Windows Mobile phones. It does not include a scanner, instead focusing on backing up data and wiping lost or stolen phones for $19.90 a year.

Norton: Norton Mobile Security for Android phones is in downloadable beta now. Like the already available Norton Smartphone Security for Symbian and Windows Mobile 5 or 6, it includes anti-theft features, anti-malware and virus scanning, as well as text message and call blocking.

Trend Micro: The Japanese company's Mobile Security for Android is a $3.99 anti-phishing and call- and text-blocking app that doesn't yet include a phone-location service.

While there's a large number of programs for Android phones, experts continue to assert that the platform isn't any more vulnerable than other mobile operating systems.

Many security firms are working to add support for Apple's mobile products as well. For example, Zscaler just announced Zscaler Mobile, which adds support for corporate-network-connected iPhones, iPads and Android devices to its enterprise products.
Nevertheless, the popularity of apps is contributing to the increased threat of infection since most users rarely bother to read the requested permissions each app requires.

This can lead to SMS threats wherein the malicious software contacts premium numbers (incurring charges) and transmits confidential information, such as passwords and account numbers, to hackers.

Most consumers are familiar with e-mail-based threats. However, many don't understand that the same threats exist in the mobile and social-networking sphere.
Analysts say the latter is especially worrisome since people who use services such as Face book assume that the well-known corporate logo implies that a system is free of possible viruses or hacking attacks.

"Users made a lot of progress in the last few years in terms of education regarding computer malware and spam," said Bit Defender’s Crosio. "The problem is that they have to do this all over again, since the threats are changing and evolving."

Comparing Your HD TV display type options

If you're on the market for an HDTV, there are some price ranges you should be aware of. Most of the high end HDTVs will come in 1080p, and the lower end or entry level models will come in 720p fixed-pixel resolution. The type of HDTV you will pick will depend on where and what the HDTV will be used for.

Most plasma and projection HD TVs will cost more than LCD HD TVs while LED TVs do also cost somewhere in the region of plasma and projection TVs. Also there are different screen sizes, for most LCD TVs, the screen ranges from 26 – 60 inches. LED HD TVs meanwhile come in 40inches plus, plasma and projection HD TVs come in ranges of 42 inches to about 100 inches in some instances.

If you are going for the big screen, you might want to go for the projection or plasma HD TVs but there is another thing you will have to take into account, the function time. Because of the display technologies that are used for these two types of HD TVs, they are designed to be used in dark rooms and for less viewing time than that of LCD and LED HD TVs. LCD and LED HD TVs on the other hand can withstand prolonged viewing hours and are designed to be used for frequent TV viewing.

Also although LED and LCD sound like different technologies, they are based on the same display design. This essentially means the main differences between the two types of HD TVs will come from the backlighting as LCD uses CCFL backlighting (which consumes more energy) while LED uses LED backlighting which uses less energy while producing a brighter resolution. The benefits do come with a price, LED TVs cost more than their LCD TVs counterparts so if you are on a strict budget, you may want to skip LED. The real benefits of LED TVs are in the energy department and in some instances the resolution.

Not that the HD resolution will be different but that the color mixes and balances will be brighter and more accurate on certain LED TVs when compared to an LCD TV. LCD and LED TVs will of course pose challenges with more acute viewing angles when compared to projection and plasma HD TVs.
