Implementing and keeping a virus protection solution up-to-date on your computer is a common practice but often isn’t taken into considerationfor your businesses’ mobile devices. Cleaning up a malware infected computer can be costly and time consuming but doing the same thing on a mobile device is almost unimaginable How can you protect your companies’ mobile technology from viruses? Now there’s an app for that!
VirusBarrier is a virus scanner app for iOS (4.0 or later) that works on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and the iPad. The app is an on-demand scanner that has the ability to check zip files and Windows, Mac and Unix file types – basically any file that is sent your way! Since most information stored on an iOS devise comes from the web the program is also able to scan websites for phishing URLs, hosted malware and other web-based threats.
Once downloaded the Remote Locations dialog box appears. Simply select the type of remote location and enter your details for each service you connect to. Upon adding a service, VirusBarrier iOS will open the contents of the location in a list and allow you to select all files or individual files for scanning. Simply tap the file in the list and the scan takes off.
The status of your subscription, date of definitions and frequency of update checking is always available for you to review. When you select files to scan, if the malware definitions are out of date you will be prompted to update and scan or just scan. The update and scan is always the way to go. Once a scan completes, you will be alerted to the status of the file — whether it is infected and needs to be cleaned.
