Smartphone application provides top-rated defense against mobile device hackers for only $14.95
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Global security company BullGuard is slashing the price of its mobile security product by 50 percent during the holiday season to help protect the increasing number of consumers who will purchase gifts online using their mobile device. Compatible with Android, Blackberry, Windows and Symbian smartphones, BullGuard Mobile Security 10 protects mobile devices by stopping viruses, spyware and hackers from accessing the phone, and keeps personal details safe even if the phone is lost or stolen. BullGuard was recently named Best Mobile Security Application by the independent researcher TopTenReviews and is the most comprehensive app of its kind on the market today. From November 21 through December 2, BullGuard Mobile Security 10 can be purchased for $14.95 at www.bullguard.com.
According to Deloitte’s 2011 Annual Holiday Survey, 27 percent of smartphone owners will use their devices for holiday shopping. Despite reports that malware on mobile devices increased 250 percent over the last year, many of these consumers do not have a security application installed on their smartphone, leaving them vulnerable to threats like spyware and viruses.
“All the online risks that are a part of your life on your computer are just as real when you use your smartphone to access your bank account or make purchases,” said Claus Villumsen, Chief Technology Officer of BullGuard. “Your phone only needs to be switched on to be vulnerable to hackers, who can call paid services, send text messages, and steal and exploit personal information such as credit card details, passwords and phone numbers without you even knowing it. Basically, a smartphone without proper protection puts you at risk.”
BullGuard has been working with mobile security technologies since 2005, when the company was among the very first to launch a mobile security product. Features of the top-rated BullGuard Mobile Security 10 include:
- Antivirus- Protects your phone from viruses and yourself from identity theft and online fraud
- Antitheft- If your phone is stolen, allows you to go online to delete sensitive data, lock it and locate it by GPS
- Parental Control- Lets you keep an eye on what your kids are up to on their phone and make sure they don’t run up huge bills
- Firewall - Protects personal details on your phone from hackers and intruders
- Spamfilter- Keeps your phone clean and blocks unwanted texts and unwelcomed callers
- Basic Backup- Stores your contacts and calendar, even if you lose your phone
- Mobile Security Manager- Web service that can be accessed via your PC and an Internet browser to adjust settings and check phone status remotely
- Free 24/7 support when you need it
BullGuard Mobile Security 10 will be available for $14.95 (50 percent off MSRP) to U.S. consumers on BullGuard.com from Nov. 21 through Dec. 2, 2011. No coupon code is required.
