Mobile Security - Smartphones, Netbooks, Laptops & PDAs

Share |

Everyone should have security software for their netbook, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA) or Smartphone. We hope that you never, ever lose your mobile devices, but if you do, you should make sure that no one can steal your identity, use your credit cards, or open your files. Types of protection include using passwords, data encryption, spam filter, antivirus and a firewall. Laptops can use the same security software as desktop computers; exceptions include laptop theft services and wireless hot spot protection (see bottom of this page). PDAs and Smartphones need their own special products.
