The evil is everywhere. The virtual world is no exception. If you thought your digital data in your computer is secured because you have a strong antivirus application running then you are probably wrong. With the advent of technology and thereby the rise of electronic gadgets, malicious codes in the form of viruses and trojans have paved their way to pendrives, iPods, mp3 players and cell-phones.

That’s right, a cell phone is as vulnerable to virus attacks as your computer. Viruses can creep in your smart-phone via blue tooth or an unsecured Wi-Fi network and the after-effects are not very pleasant. To tackle this out, ESET, makers of one of the very best PC antivirus suites, has introduced an antivirus application for cell phones. And to make that grin on your face a little bigger, this ESET Mobile Antivirus is a freeware.
