The latest updates to Norton Mobile Security also extend enhanced anti-theft capabilities to iPhone and iPad with a “scream” alarm to help users quickly find their missing mobile device.
Norton Mobile Security updated version, will now flag an application and notify a user if a mobile app is found to export information such as a user’s contacts, photos or call logs. It empowers consumers to protect their personal information and make informed decisions about which apps to keep or remove.

With this latest release, we are using a unique combination of static and dynamic analysis to deliver an unprecedented view into app privacy and information leakage. With this information, consumers can actually decide for themselves whether to keep each app.
