edit

DroidSecurity has created the first full-featured Android anti-malware application, called DroidSecurity Internet Security Suite. The company was founded in 2009 and is based in Tel Aviv, Israel.

DroidSecurity Internet Security Suite ($4.99 USD) is a powerful, mature security application that provides a wide-range of protection against viruses/malware and SMS/text spam, plus enables users to track lost smartphones and remotely wipe data for enhanced security and control.

The core platform was publicly beta-tested by Android users under the DroidHunter brand, and was downloaded over 100,000 times during the six-month beta. DroidSecurity Internet Security Suite is the first Android antivirus application to leverage the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) technology.
