3GSM World Conference, Cannes - February 16, 2005 - Dangaard Telecom, Europe's largest distributor of mobile phones and BullGuard, specialists in user-friendly PC & Mobile security solutions, today announced their partnership to offer BullGuard Mobile, security software for Pocket PCs and smartphones, in all Dangaard's 15 key markets.

"Security applications on mobile devices will become an industry standard within a very short period of time. By acting now we will make security a key differentiator on the mobile phone market and offer significant added value to our partners…. We are ready to deliver BullGuard Mobile across the range of platforms, from Windows Mobile based systems to Symbian. This will secure the vast majority of current smart phone users and further Dangaard's position as the preferred pan-European Value Adding Distributor" said Michael Køehn Milland, COO of Dangaard Telecom.

He continued: "BullGuard has moved very quickly to cover the full range with quality products and that is why we believe they are the best option on the mobile security market."

BullGuard has made home users and small businesses its core customers by focussing on user-friendliness, design and cutting-edge technology. This experience has been key to building the current range of mobile phone security applications, designed to protect with a minimum of user-intervention.

Morten Lund, CEO of BullGuard stated: "Using Pocket PCs and smartphones is all about connectivity and convenience - that doesn't blend very well with security threats. People should be able to use mobile devices, with a minimum of fuss, without being concerned about harmful content. We have seen the first viruses for mobile devices and Dangaard Telecom have chosen to lead the way by placing BullGuard Mobile in the middle of their drive to make security a key differentiator in the marketplace. "
