Symantec Slows Down Your Cell Phone

Hardware Geeks have the scoop on Symantec porting their antivirus over to Nokia Series 60 smart phones. If it were up to me, I would want to be able to choose which vendor’s antivirus program I get to put on my smart phone.

Nokia and Symantec inked a deal that will put Symantec Mobile Security antivirus program on Series 60 smart phones. Smart phones typically have features like email and web browsing which make the vulnerable to attack.

Although virus outbreaks for smart phones and other mobile devices have been minimal they have been increasing over the past year or so and I guess Nokia and Symantec rather their users be safe they sorry.
