MartinPe 7 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Is there a need for a security program for Windows Phone 8? I know that in comparison of the other platform, we are not popular but, will Eset do one ? Martin Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Marcos 3,574 Posted July 18, 2013 Administrators Share Posted July 18, 2013 No, Windows Phone 8 limits applications to such an extent that no traditional antivirus program with real-time protection can be created for it. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Bill Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Since ESET is primarily an antivirus and not in device or software management this will probably not be something they will be working towards. If Microsoft changes its stance on real-time scanners and virus detection this may be something they will look into as a secondary to the AV. Link to post Share on other sites
LocknetSSmith 5 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 will ESET USSD Control work for the Windows 8 phone? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eset.securedialer Link to post Share on other sites
ESET Moderators Peter Randziak 555 Posted August 21, 2013 ESET Moderators Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello, ESET USSD Control is just simple utility, which was quickly developed in order to prevent exploiting of USSD feature on some Android based devices. This issue was specific for Android OS so there would be no use for it on Windows 8 phone. Link to post Share on other sites
silver_hitman 0 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi, If I may confirm,... There are no known "HARMFUL" infections to date that anyone knows of for windowphone 8 on the basis that windowsphone8 architecture is so locked down and limited ? Thank you S.H Link to post Share on other sites
