Not long ago, the firstAndroidThe virus "android SMS undercover" (SW. Spyware. A) on the mobile phone platform and its variant (SW. Spyware. B) were detected and intercepted. It is understood that the virus can steal text messages from mobile phones, causing serious leakage of user privacy. In addition to stealing text messages, it also monitors User call records. It seems that hackers and virus spammers have begun to shift their attention to Google's Android platform.

We can see that there are three options on the antivirus interface: "full screen scan", "real-time monitoring", and "Update virus Database. "Real-time Monitoring" and "Update virus Database" are auxiliary options, and "Real-time Monitoring" is enabled by default.

[Norton smartphone Security 1]

Norton is one of Symantec's personal information security products and is also a widely used anti-virus program. This product has been developed so far, in addition to the original anti-virus, as well as anti-spyware and other network security risks. Norton smart phone security mainly provides "remote lock", "anti-malware", "telephone firewall", and many other functions. It is mainly used to prevent data leakage after the mobile phone is lost, suspicious phone filtering can reject harassing calls. In addition, this software also provides a malicious software scanning function to prevent mobile phones from being attacked by Trojans.

The picture on the right shows that it is also a black background, but the options are more marked as anti-virus than those of netqin mobile phones, including "remote lock and erase (delete) in addition to "," anti-malware "," Call Blocking "," online upgrade ", and" subscription status.

 

The first is anti-virus. The anti-virus function of the Norton smartphone is inferior to that of the netqin mobile phone because in the Norton smartphone security software, the anti-virus feature is limited to the "anti-malware" option, which only scans for the same memory card as the malware and the same mobile phone, netqin mobile scanned a total of 7896 files and 137 processes, while Norton smart phone only scanned 137 files, therefore, in terms of the anti-virus function, the security of Norton smart phones is inferior to that of netqin mobile phones.
