sho-dan Posted August 20, 2010 ID:302775 Share Posted August 20, 2010 A bit more info, it may be a good thing for the newer smart phones. Intel owned an antivirus business, but sold it to Symantec in 1998. McAfee already offers security software for deployment in embedded and mobile devices, and recently announced plans to acquire security companies focused on the mobile market. In July, McAfee announced that it had agreed to acquire security company TenCube, a mobile security company. In June, the company acquired Trust Digital, a provider of enterprise mobility management and security softwarehttp://www.businessweek.com/idg/2010-08-19...obile-play.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
