Free Android mobile security from Kaspersky

To help protect Android smartphone users in the Philippines from data theft and malware, security solutions developer Kaspersky Lab is giving away a free six-month license of Kaspersky Mobile Security to buyers of its Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) 2013 and Kaspersky Anti-Virus (KAV) 2013.

Starting February 15, for every purchase of specially-marked 2013 versions of KIS and KAV 1-user, 3-user, and 5-user licenses, buyers can get a free 6-month license of KMS upon registration of the purchased Kaspersky product over at http://www.isn.com.ph/kasperskyregistration. This promo is open nationwide and will run until supplies last.

Kaspersky Lab said it developed the Kaspersky Mobile Security software to ensure that smartphone users remain protected anytime and anywhere. With increased smartphones use including for electronic commerce, it’s no surprise that cybercriminals have set their sights on these devices too. The Kaspersky Mobile Security is integrated with a number of technologies from Kaspersky Lab. It helps protect private data by scanning for viruses and spyware, blocks dangerous phishing websites, filters unwanted calls and SMS, and hides private contacts.

If the smartphone is stolen, Kaspersky Mobile Security can lock the missing phone, locate it and wipe out data. Kaspersky Mobile Security also has features that run even if the device SIM card is removed. Awesome features include: (i) ‘Mugshot’ – takes photos of unauthorized users, (ii) Device Lock – denies access to your missing phone, (iii) Data Wipe – removes sensitive information from your missing phone, (iv) Locate – finds the location of your missing phone, (v) SIM Watch – contacts your phone, even if the SIM card has been replaced, (vi) Anti-Theft Web Management – makes it easier to interact with your missing phone, (vii) Device Admin – prevents unauthorized uninstallation of Kaspersky Mobile Security

“Smartphone will continue to grow in demand among Filipinos especially with prices of devices coming down and telecommunications companies are offering new services with affordable plans that maximize the various features of smartphones. The reality is that cybercriminals will find it hard not to notice that smartphones hold a lot of important information. This free six-month offer of our Kaspersky Mobile Security is intended to encourage people to understand these threats and to take steps in protecting their devices and the data stored in these devices against attacks,” said Jimmy Fong, Channel Sales Director of Kaspersky Lab Southeast Asia.
