Symantec has released version 3.5 of its Symantec AntiVirus for Handhelds product. Promising a comprehensive virus protection solution designed to secure wireless devices running on Palm OS, Microsoft Windows Mobile and Pocket PC platforms, this version includes a new centralised management interface and support for Windows Mobile 5.0.
It includes features like automatic scans after expansion card insertion or desktop synchronization, on-demand scans and updates that are available either through your desktop computer or through a direct wireless connection on your PDA.
Although viruses on mobile devices have been a bit of a non-issue to date, that could change as devices become increasingly wired.
Symantec AntiVirus for Handhelds 3.5 is available for $39.95 USD for a one-year renewable subscription.
