    Remote protection - J. Cook - 5/20/2009

    I personally never heard of Kaspersky so I decided to check them out. Turns out that they have two very cool features that caught my eye. For one of them, they claim that you can "block or delete personal data remotely if your phone is lost or stolen". Next one was that if you SIM card was ever to be removed, you'll get a notification of a new number. Seems like a pretty cool feature if you travel a lot and have a higher risk of losing your phone, especially when you have confidential data.
