Many older smartphones are equipped with slower processors and already operate a bit slowly, so we're hoping that Kaspersky have made the software as efficient and speedy as possible, and we'll write a follow up article in the future to judge this. Still, it's clear that security threats for smartphones are only going to grow, something that will eventually make this kind of security software an essential addition to any smartphone from any mobile phone manufacturer. Mobile Security 7.0 is available now from Kaspersky’s Australian website for AUD $36.67. |
