With an ever-increasing use of mobile phones to access Internet, malware-makers and hackers are now carrying out sophisticated mobile-centric cyber attacks. To counter such intentions, many leading security companies have released mobile versions of their security solutions. The security companies have also made these mobile versions available on market places like the Android Market and the Apple App Store to make them accessible to more and more users worldwide.
