Abstract:
Nowadays mobile phone manufacturers offer their customers not only devices for calling and sending SMSmessages, but also multi-functional smartphones with much broader capability. Mobile phones are used to access the Internet, for e-mailing, social networking, finding phone owner`s location and routing, etc. Due to its multiple functionalities, a smartphone can store a lot of data that may be breached by theft or data leakage. This article focuses on development of security software for mobile devices able to detect malicious software and infected files on the device as well as to protect the user from applications recording personal conversations, secretly transmitting data and activating programs. Antivirus software monitors secret camera activation warning the user. The paper also provides the comparison of the proposed security software with popular antiviruses: Kaspersky Mobile Security, Dr.Web, ESET, Norton Antivirus, etc.
