juwaack68 · 08-24-2006, 06:59 PM

I just received (yet another) email about this from someone at our company - this time the Helpdesk manager. He actually forwarded a message to me from someone at Software Spectrum, and they claim they have software that can stop this type of virus attack. Anyone ever heard of SMobile VirusGuard? Here is a section of the email that was sent to me that references it:

Do third-party solutions exist that can protect against the vulnerability?
To our knowledge, the SMobile VirusGuard for BlackBerry from SMobile Systems is the only commercially available solution that offers immediate protection against the vulnerabilities. The SMobile VirusGuard stops malware and other threats at the handset, and allows users to continue to access the full functionality of their BlackBerry devices.

How much does the SMobile VirusGuard for BlackBerry cost?
SMobile VirusGuard for BlackBerry retails for $29.99 for a one-year subscription.

Curious to hear what others think about this......
