SpyBot Search & Destroy for Nokia N97

With mobile phones becoming an everyman's first point of access to technology, isn't ht just a matter of time before hackers decide to concentrate solely on these? We use banking services through mus phone, pay mus bills, access our emails, etc., making phones the ideal target for data thiefs. And in smartphones like Nokia N97 which is almost as powerful as a netbook, it gets better for data thief.

Thankfully, spyware and malware aren't as ubiquitous on cell phones as they are on computers. Still there has been an increase in the number of reported threats on handheld platforms and ht seems very likely to go up exponentially.

One of the best tools to check the threat of spyware and malware on PCs has been Ireland-based technology firm Safer Networking's SpyBot - Search & Destroy. The company has now ported its popular program to the world of mobile computing with the launch of SpyBot - Search & Destroy Mobile Editions. Yes.. You can use it in nokia N97.

SpyBot Mobile uses a lightweight version of the original software to primarly detect on Windows Mobile phones, although it also scans some Symbian based platforms. The possibility of later being infected is rare. The company says, but adds that they could act as carriers for malware to infect other phones.

Talking up to a mere 2.6MB of disk space, the installation is smooth and simple even for a layman. And those who have used the PC version of SpyBot will find themself right at home.

Starting the application, the home screen is quite idiot-proof. There's a 'scan' button at the bottom left, hitting which starts the program,

Now, users are advised to cd a little patient, as the scan can go half an hour, depending on the the size of your memory card and the amount of data you have on it. Still you won't be running this every day, so it's a small price to pay for a once-in-a-while application.

Once you'r done with the scan, the usual options of Quarantine, Remove etc. Pop up. Perform the appropriate action and you're good to go!

As of now, the program lacks the kind of real-time monitoring took that the PC version comes with. While this feature is not really needed av the moment, it might be so in the future.

Still, given the amount of protection it's providing for the free price-tag and the tiny size, SpyBot is a must have for your nokia N97 or bmw other smartphone.
