AhnLab introduces antivirus software for iPhones, Android phones

SEOUL, March 24 (Xinhua) -- South Korea's AhnLab Inc., an antivirus security software provider, has unveiled its newly developed vaccine programs for smart phone devices Wednesday that may be applicable to Google's Android and Apple Inc.'s iPhone operating systems.

The "V3 Mobile+for iPhone" and "V3 Mobile for Android" programs are capable of automatically discovering and fixing viral codes detected on iPhones or Android platform-based smart phones, as it also runs regular virus checks and builds personal information protection walls, the company said.

The company added it is currently in the process of developing a program called "V3 Mobile+ for Transaction," which will enhance security measures during high-risk activities such as phone banking or stock trading as well.

AhnLab has developed a vaccine program for Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system in 2006 and for Research in Motion's Blackberry devices last year, the company said.
