We use the E72 to mange our daily stuff more easily. It means that more and more personal data is being saved on the phone. This kind of data that we don’t want that other will access without our permission . The Kaspersky Mobile security is a complete suite of security application to protect E72 from malware, viruses, hackers and even thieves.
The kaspersky mobile security consists of the following security applications:
Firewall
The Kaspersky firewall provides the ability to block incoming connections, block all connection other then standard applications (Web browsing, email, etc’) and block all connections. It’s not as flexible as standard PC firewall but it provides basic network security. The block all mode is useful when roaming and you would like to eliminate the risk that some application will connect to the internet via expensive 3G network.

The problem with Kaspersky is that the firewall isn’t customizable. My e-mail provider uses port 26 for outgoing mail, which is blocked by Kaspersky on all but the lowest level of firewall security. Since one of my reasons for getting the software was so that I could use it when I’m on wifi networks, this kind of defeats the purpose; I have to choose between wifi security or being able to send e-mail. That is ridiculous. This product is not yet ready for prime time, thus is not worth the $30 per year that they are asking.
