Security firm McAfee has brought to market the updated version of McAfee Mobile Security software which offers smartphone and tablet owners with greater controls to preserve their privacy and protection against financial fraud, identity theft and viruses. Available now, McAfee Mobile Security 2.0 supports Google Android-based smartphones and tablets, including those running on Intel architecture as well as BlackBerry and Symbian smartphones.

Some of the new features in the updated version include McAfee App Alert, which provides important information about what apps are doing with users’ personal information and the ability to filter calls and text messages to avoid unwanted numbers and spam texts. The app is also powered by the McAfee's Global Threat Intelligence network, which constantly analyzes global threat data to identify and quickly block new threats with over-the-air app updates.

“McAfee Mobile Security 2.0 now offers Android, BlackBerry and Symbian users definitive mobile technology to protect against the most harmful threats to mobile devices today,” said John Thode, executive vice president and general manager,Consumer, Mobile and Small Business at McAfee. “It is increasingly clear that using a smartphone without security means any sensitive information, such as photos, bank account information or company data on that mobile device is at risk of falling into the wrong hands.”

Beside the new features, McAfee Mobile Security 2.0 also offers Antivirus, Anti-theft, Web and App Protection features. The application costs $ 29.99 USD for new subscribers while existing customers can download the updated software for free.
