Norton launches new security solution for Android smartphones

Norton by Symantec on Friday launched a latest version of its flagship mobile solutions “Norton Mobile Security for Android”, featuring a “Report Card” that provides automatic security and privacy analysis and reveals where data travels.

The latest version, priced at Rs 599 (for one year), includes an enhanced “App Adviser” feature which deploys proactive protections against malicious apps and other sophisticated threats on Android devices.

“We are seeing a significant uptick in customers installing Norton mobile solutions and believe it is due to people seeking ways to protect their devices which are loaded with sensitive and personal information,” said Ritesh Chopra, Country Manager of Norton by Symantec, in a statement.

“It also offers an easy-to-understand list of potential privacy vulnerabilities, like past unsecure Wi-Fi connections so users can understand what data might be at risk and course correct,” the company said.
