1st of all i tried dis app n it really works fine after dat 1st hanging issue been fixed :)
now i found out another bug which is if u uninstalled it u gonna lose ur libs folder which contains essential files 4 running other applications :x
so after u read dis n u intend 2 uninstall it in da future u must backup ur libs folder :idea:
C:\System\Libs
E:\System\Libs
i also made a repacked version which doesn't contain dis bug it's attached 2 dis thread.
2nd pay attention u r not beeing protected against any kind of viruses unless u go through da update process!! :P
finally if u wanna uninstall my repacked version u got 2 kill it 1st using appman coz i removed some useless files they include 2 uninstall it :wink:

BR Yudo

The only problem is when doing updating of virus scan for Mcafee is always updating failed even u on yr GPRS. N when want off the virus scan, it just stay on like the PC which will eat up the battery.

N even worst, when I restart my phone. It just hand there which I go to another other application in the phone. :x

BR Yudo

its say cant be downloaded

ok i give up it worked fine 4 me now it doesn't work at all
i got app closed virusscan
so it's up 2 u 2 install it or not!!

First it not asking where i can install, second it's takes about 800 KB in main memory after installing, and finally not working good and make my 6600 5.53 have many trouble, uinstalling it also not too easy, it require some freezing times before I get rid all Viruscan.

This is viruscan or an virus ?/

yup u can update it 4 free via gprs :)

Thanx for the reply mate.

How does this compare to SimWorks or Symantec :?:

same problem... also me ask if is this an viruscan or an virus... :cry:

This is the trick how to uninstall the program without format your hp..
The app file actually automatic save on c drive.. and will scan the virus in drive c and drive e.. Scanning depand how big is your memory size.. in drive c or e..

Put out your mmc card and turn your phone on.. after that.. huhuhu... uninstall it... hahaha... after it done put your mmc card back.. walaaa..

i uploaded N-Gage version if someone wanna check it out
about ppl dat faced problems as slovea said remove MMC then uninstall it then return MMC back!!

N even worst, when I restart my phone. It just hand there which I go to another other application in the phone. :x

i just full format my phone after installing this s/w...after restart can't even go into Menu and hang..grrrrrrrrrr :twisted: :twisted:

What I did was I pull out my MMC card , restart my hp n immediately removed the program n download virus guard to scan my C n E drive. N there is an virus inside my phone which I have been scanning my phone all the while.

It's a beta version so they will use us to test it then charge everybody when they release a bug free (or almost) version...

Haven't had any update work yet but I am keep gonna keep trying. ;)

Likewise all version i tried been well a bit rubbish. Out of memory phone hang etc. Profiexplorer will work if opened directly from menu once you get that far . From there you can free up memory on c to remove phone hang and avoid format ! .. My advice is leave this app well alone forget beta(s) and wait for full version to be released. Cheers for all your hard work though illusion . It is appreciated :-)

u're welcome mate n thanx 4 ur advice :)
but i think full version won't be free though :-P

Hmm the full version will be not mess phone..so we wait for u mate to post this AV..cheers Yudo :)

This beta version is garbage, it totally messed up my phone. Beware!

Strange, you guys stated have many problem but it works fine for me on my NOKIA 6680. Just to inform you guys, there's another updated BETA version on their official site, try to download there. Cheers!

who cares the money-paid app, we got the skillz crackers to crack it.

of coz it can work well on 6680 due to it is powered by at least the latest software than others phone like 6600 or QD. Do you expected all the windows software which can run with error-free on Windows XP and Windows 95/98 too? Anyway, iam alarmed v6.x is nearly out to date and convinced myself to get a new symbian software phone for future wise.

Great post. Thank you very much!

It didnt worked in my 3230 too,ya it hangs a bit times,but thats the part of game,u need something new,so ready might it hack ur phone,

thanks illusion for your great try,
I personally feel there is no good antivirus at all,
and Telling u the truth,i didnt install any antivirus,As members here are trusted,they not gonna give us bad files or whatever,

So I m Happy Without Antivirus,!!

it's good works in my n gage.... :lol: :lol: but very hard to uninstal this aplication... so big size in my internal memory... :cry: by the way,, thank's a lot for aplication...

not work on my nokia 3660

FEATURES

No service interruption
VirusScan Mobile is designed to run on a phone. Because of that, it is built so that it will not interrupt your mobile activities such as phone calls, data access or web surfing. You will barely know it is present on the device, until it protects you from a threat.

Subscription management
McAfee is the leading provider of subscription security software. VirusScan Mobile provides customers with that leading technology as well. Updates are managed through a proprietary system ensuring your device has the most up-to-date protection possible.

Small file size
McAfee VirusScan Mobile is designed and built for the mobile world. The application is extremely small, yet very powerful. It uses just 800 kilobytes of space on a device. This makes the application easy to download and install.

Email scanning
More efficient at handling today's larger file sizes (e.g., MP3s, digital photos, PowerPoint presentations), VirusScan Mobile automatically scans inbound (POP3) and outbound (SMTP) email and email attachments.

AVERT
McAfee's Antivirus Emergency Response Team (AVERT) continually monitors worldwide virus outbreaks, then delivers immediate anti-virus protection and removal solutions for VirusScan users.

Always on protection
When new viruses attack, McAfee VirusScan Mobile is always on the lookout for new or suspicious behavior, silently in the background without interrupting your work.

Auto cleaning
Automatically attempts to clean infections when malicious threats are detected from viruses, worms, Trojans, and Java applets. Cleaned files can then be used safely.

Complete protection
VirusScan Mobile protects a mobile device from any threat perspective including SMS and MMS messages, Bluetooth connections, WAP and HTTP connections. No matter what you are doing with your phone, you will be protected.

Compressed file scanning
Scans compressed files, such as .zip, .sis and other compressed files, to detect hidden infected files.

Virus map and Virus information library
Opt-in reporting into McAfee Virus Map which records how the latest threats are infecting devices (including computers) worldwide. Then research them via direct links to the McAfee Virus Information Library.
