Posted on August, Saturday 21, 2010 By ITVarNews Network

Kaspersky Lab India announced the release of Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0

Kaspersky Lab India announced the release of Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0 at the 6th ASSOCHAM Global Telecom Summit 2010. The Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0 is an integrated solution designed to protect smartphones from all kinds of threats.

According to the press release, the new Privacy Protection feature enables users to hide information about any contacts they want to keep confidential. A list of confidential contacts can be created from the contact lists on the SIM or the phones onboard memory. With the touch of a button, users of Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0 can mark contacts as private, meaning that no trace of them will appear in contact lists, call logs, SMSs or incoming calls. Anyone else using the smartphone will be completely unaware of the hidden information.

The new version of the product dessigned to enable contacts to be partially hidden, e.g. conceal call log information about conversations with a particular contact, but leave the numbe

r visible in the contact list. If necessary, concealed contacts can easily be made visible again by entering a password. Flexible settings allow incoming calls and messages to be accepted while concealing information about them, or ignored and accepted later when normal mode is enabled. Privacy Protection mode can be set for contacts manually using the applications interface, automatically after a predefined period of inactivity or remotely by sending a special SMS to your own number.

The new version of Kaspersky Mobile Security boasts to also include enhancements to the Anti-Theft feature that a smartphone owner can use to block the device if it is lost or stolen, wipe its memory, locate it via GPS as well as receive notification of the new number if the SIM is changed. After it has been blocked remotely, the smartphone can display a prearranged message allowing any law-abiding citizen to return it to its rightful owner.
