Your iPhone may fall victim to phishing or malicious scams just like any other device. Norton Mobile Security for iOS help protect against the various ways these attacks may get into your devices, such as Wi-Fi man-in-the-middle attacks, malicious websites, and operating system exploits.Īre there email scams for iPhone users? Yes. Your iOS device can fall prey to virus and malware attacks. (There are other suites, such as Kaspersky One, that include multi-device protection but don't include a common Web-management interface and therefore aren't included in this roundup.Can iPhones get viruses? Yes. In this roundup, I examine four such suites: McAfee All Access, Norton One, Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2012 and Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete. A Web-based management interface lets you see which devices are protected by which software, install software directly from the site, and in some cases remotely configure the protection on various devices. For example, a copy of Norton 360 provides one year of protection for three Windows PCs for $59.99, while Norton 360 Everywhere, which offers protection for five devices (Windows, OS X or Android) costs $99.99.īut wait, there's more: Besides offering multiple pieces of software for a single price, there's a new way of managing the security on all of your devices - from the cloud. However, if you're protecting five of them, the savings can add up quickly.

These suites typically cost more than a single-OS version (which usually protects up to three machines), and so if you only use the suites to protect two devices, you may not save any money. For a single price, you buy protection for multiple devices - for example, two Windows-based PCs, one Mac, an Android smartphone and an iPad.

While there are a number of individual products out there that can help with that task, there are also several anti-malware suites that encourage you to think of security in a holistic way, rather than just device-by-device.
