Mobile Defense 1.1.2 released on the Android Market

Many users were downloading Mobile Defense and not completing or even starting the registration process. Several of these individuals actually lost their phone and they quickly contacted us requesting help. Unfortunately, we had to explain that they were not protected because they never successfully activated Mobile Defense on their phone.

In an effort to improve our communications and prevent users from having a false sense of security, we feel it is necessary to routinely inform the user if they are not yet protected. Therefore, in this release we will now examine the phone’s status on boot or every 24hrs (which ever comes first) and alert the user if their device is unprotected.
