Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0, a new generation of solution that protects smartphone and communicator users from malware, network attacks and SMS spam, safeguards the data on a smartphone or communicator if it is lost.

Present on the launch occasion were Suk ling Gun, Corporate Sales Director – Asia Pacific; Altaf Halde, Head of South Asia Operations; Jagannath Patnaik, Director, Channel Sales (South Asia); and Thomas Abraham, Managing Director, Faxtel India.

With the all-new KMS 9, owners of Blackberry and Android-based smartphones can now get comprehensive protection for their device and all of the data stored on it. "We always listen to our clients' preferences and desires, whether in connection with the capabilities of our solutions, or our distribution channels," says Jagannath Patnaik, Director – Channel Sales, Kaspersky Lab, South Asia. "Obviously, the easiest way for owners of Android-based devices to start using a product is to download it from Android Market."

The Kaspersky Mobile Security 9.0 is designed to protect your mobile privacy. With unique privacy protection technologies, you just need to push one button to hide selected contacts and their contact data, including call histories, contact list entries and SMSs, and mute their calls.

Contacts can also be hidden automatically after a preset idle period or remotely by sending a predefined SMS. You can also filter out unwanted calls and SMSs by creating a white list and a black list of contacts.
