Amidst the growing demand for mobile online casino gambling, it has become apparent that more effective mobile phone safety mechanisms are needed to guard against online viruses, spyware and spam. Recently answering this call was Kaspersky Lab - the UK based online and mobile security firm, who announced their latest mobile security product release.

Called the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile, the upgraded program is compatible with mobile phones that use the Symbian and Windows mobile operating systems, also known as Smartphones. Using new integrated security solutions, Kaspersky says the program is more user-friendly, not to mention the fact that it implements newer technologies offering better protection against malware and unsolicited SMS messages.

In addition to a comprehensive antivirus database, software updates (including the latest virus preventives) can be received via an automatic software updater linked with Kaspersky Lab servers. Very similar to home computer anti-virus programs, the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Mobile program now enables users to gamble at online casinos via their mobile phone with even more peace of mind.

A spokesperson for Kaspersky Lab said the company is very confident about its latest upgrade. As cyber criminals find new ways to propagate malicious code and infect mobile phones, Kaspersky has been finding better ways to meet the new challenges. Much like anti-spyware programs used on personal computers, Anti-Virus Mobile is able to scan specific folders and downloaded files, as well as quarantine those objects found to be harmful to the mobile phone's operating platform. Preventing deletion of needed files, the program offers needed protection for more than just online casino browsing.
