Cingular to Offer McAfee VirusScan Mobile

We have yet to hear about virus attacks on mobile phone users, but Cingular is stepping up and offering their business customers a mobile sercurity solution with McAfee VirusScan Mobile.

The 1 year subscription will cost $29.99 per year and has automatic, over-the-air virus protection updates. The McAfee software is available on several cell phones, including the Symbian Series 60, Microsoft Windows Pocket PC or smartphone.

This addition of McAfee is intended to protect users from e-mail induced virus, Internet download virus and from WiFi induced viruses.

We all know that this is a great step for mobile carriers to offer for businesses because the virus idiots are not far form attacking the mobile community.
