First Android Antivirus Software Launched
SMobile Systems have today launched the first Antivirus software application for the Android platform.
The software, called VirusGuard, will help to protect the Android powered devices from viruses, spyware, and malware. VirusGuard will have the ability to scan the handset along with memory cards searching for any malicious content.
"Android's open source architecture is fantastic because it allows anyone to develop new applications for the phones running on this system," SMobile president Neil Book said in a statement. "For SMobile, we believe that creating a virus protection solution is necessary to help thwart the potential for malware attacks that are coming and those that exist today."
As you might have expected VirusGuard is not a free application and therefore won't be available from the Android Market until 2009. The software can be purchased from SMobile's Web site or through Handango priced at $4.99.

Surfing the internet is fun and exciting.
Surfing the internet is fun and exciting but if don’t have a good scan to rid your computer of the bugs it picks up then you will run into some problems. My search for a good scanner led me to the antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy. This is one of the best scans that I’ve ever used and it’s available at Search-and-destroy/antispyware.html. I believe that you will like Search-and-destroy Antispyware as much as I do if you give it a try. It works great and cost less than many of the other options you will find when it comes to antispyware scanners.

I initially was creating blogs with just adsense and some plr articles but that doesn’t seem to make much money. I’d be interested in some article writing – do you outsource?
