McAfee Intention is very clear that is to gain influence in the mobile security industry. Now with the acquisition of McAfee itself by Intel will give the company all the cash need to improve itself and re-establish its reputation among the best anti virus software

WaveSecure has a major security leak. The PIN is unsecure and provides access to the raw PIN for experienced hackers. This means you can be tracked by GPS, your data can be read, someone can wipe your phone or lock it without your authorization. You should read this blog it provides details: http://secrep5265.blogspot.com/2010/08/wavesecure-major-security-leak.html

Yep, McAfee will ruin it! Then probably charge something outrageous for it.

For all those looking for a replacement, I’ve never used WaveSecure but I have been a long time user of Mobile Defense. http://www.mobiledefense.com

Honestly, McAfee is sitting here saying that they’re going to improve the software.

If they are successfull at making the software better, then I’ll continue to use it. Otherwise, it might as well be void.

The facts are, that Mobile Security, another security app that I used before WaveSecure is now free, but does not include the service to remotely wipe the phone.

I too have a lifetime subscription. If McAfee voids it, they’ll lose another customer.

By the way, I’ll be backing up the APKs for anyone if they want them.

I have no idea how I’ll distribute them, but feel free to check forums for them.

Wavesecure sucks. I got charged a bunch for international SMS when I tried to use the track my phone feature – and it didn’t even work. It also slowed my phone down. This does seem like the perfect acquisition for McAfee! haha, I am surprised Norton didn’t get into a bidding war with them.

Time to find a new security software solution now. And I have a free device lifetime subscription with Wave Secure. McAfee creates bloated crap.

McAfee sucks. This program will probably become blaoted with McAfee’s worthless junk. It was nice while it lasted. Hopefully mobile defense can keep their stronghold.

This sucks,
The app will probably be free again, but they are going to start charging annual Maintenance fees like they do for EVERYTHING else.

I bet they’ll void my free lifetime service too.

Can’t wait until the software takes up 40% of my battery.
