Mobile messaging solution provider Airwide Solutions has unveiled what it calls “an antidote for the new and growing epidemic of mobile messaging threats”.

AirGuard AntiSpam brings “comprehensive” capabilities to SMS messaging networks, allowing operators to protect against fraud, spam and other malware in one comprehensive solution. Studies suggest that more than 80% of mobile phone users have received unsolicited SMS messages – and they are more likely to change their operator than their mobile number to fight the problem.
