Dear Avast!
Over the past month I have reviewed almost all the mobile antivirus / security softwares and I have to say, sadly, that Avast falls way behind.
As one example, Kaspersky includes, at least -
Realtime antivirus
Firewall
SMS blocker
Encryption and locking of device
Neutralising the device after theft, by sending an SMS
Locating the device by enabling GPS, if fitted
Anti-spam
Not bad for 30 bucks compared to Avast 20 bucks for…just antivirus, and not even real-time!
C’mon guys. Kaspersky is just one example. F-Secure, Trend Micro, Norton, Airscanner…
Wake up! Have some coffee. Get going. Do something!
Avast 4.8 would be a starter, but Avast 5 looks very promising with firewall etc. If you could at least get that into WM6.1 and other main mobile OS within the next 3-4 months I would be happy, and pay you 20-30 bucks! But right now I am resigned to tossing a coin between Kaspersky and Norton
If anyone supports an initiative for our great friends at Avast to at least provide Avast 5 on WM, Symbian, iphone, palm and eventually match Kaspersky, please post your support below!
