Among the mobile applications that owners of Nokia devices can enjoy through the Ovia Store, we can count the NetQin Mobile Anti-virus, which was only recently added to the storefront, but which already enjoys increased adoption among users.

The development team behind the application notes that the software has seen an increase in daily downloads of around 700 percent since launch, and that the user rating for it is of four stars out of five.

At the same time, they note that the increase in downloads was observed after the app was listed next to a popular game, Angry Birds.
