There is antivirus and antimalware software available today for your mobile device. While it is not the same exact antivirus software you may currently use on your computer, the same companies that antivirus software for the PC make antivirus solutions for mobile phones. McAfee recently released “McAfee Mobile,” which contains antivirus, antispyware and antiphishing protection.
