Will there be any mobile security program?
Dont know, avast has not said anything about it…
Rather depends on what mobile media you are talking about.
Mobile Smart Phones, etc. what OS ?
I believe avast are working on an avast version for Android based smart phones. No details or time frame though.
Yes, no more news about Avast! for Android since last February. I am curious too

Well, there are already signatures for Android.

But they don’t offer any client for the ANdroid itself which makes it a bit useless. I hardly make any transfers between PC and my Android smartphone as i install most of the stuff directly using Android Market app. At which point these signatures dont help me at all.
For the time being the only way to rpotect the phone is to use competitor products like DrWeb for Android Light which is from well known developer (meaning it’s trustworthy) and simply check when avast! will release their product. Avoid installing so called antiviruses for Android that you hear about for the first time. They might just as well be malware itself…
That’s how i protect my phone. I’ll keep DrWeb for now but when avast! releases their product i’ll switch.
