SimWorks Anti-Virus
Most Symbian Trojans aren't very harmful and are pretty hard to contract, but they can be annoying if you do find yourself infected with one. The best way to remove a virus, and to ensure that you'll be safe if you are unlucky enough to contract one, is to have an anti-virus program on your mobile. One such anti-virus program is SimWorks Anti-Virus (who were good enough to send me a free copy of their software to review).
SimWorks Anti-Virus
runs just like a typical anti-virus program that you would find on a
PC. You open up the application and it starts to scan all you Drives
for infected files. If one is found, it gives you a warning and asks if
you would like to remove this file.
The User-Interface for the program is very basic and mostly text based. The advantage to that is the Anti-Virus application
doesn't take up alot of space in your memory. The whole program only
takes up 76Kb of memory which means even those with the smallest memory
cards can easily accommodate this program. You could even run it from
the phones memory if you don't use an MMC card (or if it was full).
But
don't let the simple look fool you. This software has been updated to
cope with all the latest Symbian malware threats including Velasco and Gavno (And you can see how easily it handles Cabir in the screen-shots on the left and right) and SimWorks
supply regular updates whenever a new threat is found so you'll always
be protected. (Users get a free 12-month subscription to SimWorks
Update Service). The program can also be set up to scan your phone at
regular intervals just in case you forget and will run a scan when you
turn your phone on as well. The program can even detect malware as it
arrives onto your phone.
I've personally tested this application by picking up a version of
Cabir in a message before installing the software. As soon as i
installed SimWorks Anti-Virus and ran the scan it found the file in seconds and asked if i wanted to get rid of it.
You can get SimWorks Anti-Virus right here
for both Symbian Series 60 and UIQ phones. (The porgram is transferable
between phones so if you buy a new phone you can still get SimWorks
Anti-Virus on it without having to buy it again.)
