Effectiveness:  

Airscanner’s Mobile Security Combo combines firewall and antivirus protection, but lacks antispam tools. Airscanner software runs in real-time and in the background requiring minimal user input. When potentially dangerous files are detected by Airscanner Antivirus, they can be quarantined or completely removed.

Features:  

Airscanner's Firewall is more than a simple port blocker. It is a full strength packet filtering application that monitors all inbound and outbound communication. Users can set the appropriate firewall level, and place IP addresses to be blocked on the black list and trusted addresses on the white list. Airscanner Mobile Security Combo protects your mobile phone's internal memory as well as memory cards.

Ease of Use:  

The Firewall and Antivirus software by Airscanner is easy to use. The interface is simple and makes for easy navigation of the programs. Unfortunately, both programs are separate rather than combined into one, necessitating separate installation.

Users can use the granular scheduler to not only schedule, but customize scans. Or you can simply let Airscanner automatically intercept viruses and take care of them for you.

Installation & Updates:  

Airscanner updates software and virus signatures automatically when your smartphone is online. Installation is simple, and can be done over a PC or directly to the phone. But again, because the combo package includes two separate programs, you have to install them both individually.

Technical Help/Support:  

Airscanner’s help and support is limited and doesn’t include any live help over the phone or online chat. Users can get personalized help over email, or find help through manuals online. Manuals for each program are available online and you can also access various community forums.

Airscanner Mobile and Airscanner Firewall are combined into one easy package. Airscanner Mobile Security Combo helps you detect and prevent malware, while protecting your valuable mobile information. Airscanner works on smartphones running the Windows Mobile OS, but not others.
