Android Phone Security via Norton

Written by: Matt Hartley on 6/10/10  |  Filed Under Mobile  |  Share    

I remember years ago, talking about the day that a mobile security suite would eventually come to the world of smart phones. Well to those who said it would never happen, be prepared to eat some crow.

InformationWeek reports that Norton Security software is coming to Android. Now it’s too early to formulate solid options on running a security suite within a platform such as Android. But assuming this doesn’t become something that degrades the performance of the phones using the software, this could be a big step in a very different kind of direction for how we use Android in the future.

    As I have reported to Symantec Ethics about David Freer’s (VP, Symantec – Norton, APJ) misconducts (fraud, having dissented sex with me as he lied, using company resources for personal benefits – hundreds hours phone calls, hanging out with me during office hours, negative impacts on Symantec corporate image), what they do surprise me too. They basically ignore – never process the investigation, covering the serial lying & cheating criminal up, then threaten me. As Warren Buffet said when he decides which company is worth to invest, he values the CEO’s ethic and integrity the most. Being a senior management, David Freer shall walk the talks, instead he has set up a terrible example. How dare Symantec always campaign the company itself as defeat cyber criminals, but in the real world, Symantec acts just like robbers, mafia, & criminals. How ironic!

    Norton is already a memory killer on PC's.
    I can only imagine there'll be no room left for apps after being installed on a handset.
