Does anyone of you use Symantec for your smartphone?

What do you think?

Hi Stu,

 

I have Norton Smartphone Security installed on my Symbian Nokia N80 Phone. But I've never needed it.

Do you think it is working properly?
Does it slow down things?

I think it works properly because it ask me to scan my phone and to update its virus definitions.

There's no feeling loose of performance.

Re: Symantec for smartphone

I use Norton Smartphone Security 5.0 on my Nokia E61.  I love it.  I noticed no performance impact after install.  The AntiSpam filter works for me as I've been a part of several non profits and my cell number is definitely on some spam SMS lists.  It's pretty easy to test if it's working by using eicar.  Eicar will still be detected.

Hi,

 

I am also using the Symantec for smartphone

and can confirm what has been written.

No significant decrease in performance or

any other malfunctions.
