The software, which ranges in size from 400KB to 750KB depending on the mobile device, can be downloaded through the Orange portal. The downloaded program will go directly to the device, F-Secure said. Software updates are automatically pushed to the device, F-Secure said. The software is free for the first month and then costs 3 Swiss francs ($2.30) per month."</i><br /><br />What! A monthly fee for virus definitions?
