Does this mean avast is a step closer to releasing its own android AV solution (not just this anti-theft feature) ?

I was about to ask the exact same thing, plus will this be a separate program or incorperated into the av when its released ?

Both standalone and integrated.
The launch of the Avast Android product is scheduled for Q4 2011.

Thanks

Vlk, any possibility of a movement toward Blackberrys?
I’ve asked that on the blog, but probably here is a better place for it.
Thanks.

Sorry, nothing for BlackBerry under development now…

Thanks

:‘( (but thanks for the answer).
There is some Zeus variants that infect Blackberrys… :’(

not even asking about iOS, as it’s not needed here

Vlk,
Is there a time frame for the release and will there be a free version ???
