Vaccine for cell phone viruses
Ahnlab Inc. announced that it has developed the world’s first computer virus vaccine for mobile phone handsets. Ahnlab is Korea’s largest anti-computer virus company. SK Telecom Co. the largest mobile service carrier in the local market, and IA Security, a wireless security software developer, also participated in the eight-month long project. The vaccine software provides most of the services that have been available for computers, such as automatic and manual virus checking functions and engine updates for mobile phones, Ahnlab said. Ahnlab said that a mutation of a computer virus could shortly appear on mobile phones, though none has yet.
