Protection on the Handheld Device

connections and wireless IP connectivity. To properly protect the
data on the device, it is essential that the software solution resides
locally on the handheld device.
Transparent Anti-Virus Scanning
F-Secure Anti-Virus for Symbian OS is designed to be as transparent
to the user as possible. To prevent infection, all files are automatically
intercepted and scanned when they are saved, copied, downloaded,
synchronized or otherwise modified. The scanning is executed without
any need for user intervention. When an infected file is detected,
it is immediately quarantined in order to protect all other data
in the system. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Symbian OS also supports
automatic scanning of inserted memory cards and other removable
storage media.
Automatic Anti-Virus Database Updates

application requires an always up-to-date virus signature database
in the device. F-Secure Anti-Virus for Symbian OS supports several
easy methods of updating the database. The virus definitions can
be received automatically over the air as digitally signed SMS messages
or by downloading the latest database version from a web server.

F-Secure has taken its award-winning Anti-Virus technology and
optimized it for devices using the Symbian platform. With the compact
and fast scan engine and seamless integration with the operating
system, F-Secure Anti-Virus for Symbian OS is able to intercept
and detect malware efficiently without degrading the user experience.
