Runner-Up: Kaspersky Mobile 8.0

Kaspersky Mobile resets the bar for mobile security with a slew of antitheft/anti-data-loss features. Kaspersky's Mobile 8.0 for Windows Mobile and Symbian smartphones includes the features you would expect, blocking all known malware that targets mobile devices and spam sent via SMS. But because the majority of smartphone data loss stems from misplaced or stolen devices, Kaspersky Mobile Security 8.0 provides an encrypted folder for storing private information, ensuring the data can't be viewed if the device is left unattended. For devices that find their way to the back seat of a taxi, the SMS Find feature allows users to send a password via SMS to a lost device, which instructs the device to transmit its current GPS location and a link to Google Maps to its owner, displaying its exact coordinates via the phone's GPS capabilities.
