The Telekom Austria Group (VSE:TKA) (OTCUS:TKAGY), a provider of telecomms services in Austria, announced on Thursday (3 April) that its mobile subsidiary, mobilkom austria, is the first mobile provider worldwide to launch a network-based security solution, A1 INTERNET SECURITY, which can detect and remove viruses before they reach the computer.

The service has been created in collaboration with IKARUS Security Software GmbH, an Austrian antivirus software developer.

According to the company, A1 INTERNET SECURITY is a centrally-managed application that can detect and block viruses, trojans and spyware. When users visit a website affected by viruses, they receive an instant alert from A1, which makes sure they never get in touch with the affected data. In addition, the solution includes a client software for the protection of the computer, which offers a full scan of e-mails, hard disk and other data carriers on an ongoing basis and, when required, activates the firewall of the Windows operating system. The solution also features automatic and free-of-charge updates.

No financial details were disclosed.
