The service can be activated to protect a smartphones, tablets, laptops or computers. This allows subscribers to distribute their subscription to cover all devices with antivirus protection.

The launch of this service comes in the light of the increasing demand for security systems against viruses, as recent study indicates that the Kingdom is exposed to about 60 million cyber-attacks during the past year which is considered the highest rate of such attacks in the region, said a press release. –TradeArabia News Service
