ESET Mobile Security

The number of devices that operate under the control of the “Green Robot” is steadily growing, and at the same time the number of potential dangers – spyware and malware – is also increasing. The user is not able to protect himself from this threat on his own, even if he is very careful and suspicious of visiting various Internet resources and downloading content. A security tool from the well-known company ESET called Mobile Security & Antivirus can be an excellent assistant in such a situation!

This is not just anti-virus software, it is a whole range of modern tools to protect Android devices from a wide range of threats. In addition to the primary antivirus function, this program comes pre-installed with a whole package of additional utilities, the task of which is to protect against spam, fraudulent activities through phishing sites, search for a lost or stolen device, and so on.

After installing Mobile Security & Antivirus, the program will independently (with a preliminary request for user consent) scan internal and external memory for the presence of potential threats. In the future, you can configure the parameters of such a check by day of the week or a specified time interval. A mandatory function is to check the security of any content downloaded and installed on the device, which almost 100% guarantees that malicious software will be detected and eliminated in a timely manner.

When installing the tool, four additional shortcuts are located on the screen, each of which performs a highly specialized task. You can use a filter for incoming calls and receive SMS messages from contacts that are not in the phone book, activate reliable protection against fraudulent sites when browsing the Internet, set the frequency of updating the program’s anti-virus database, set the option for interacting with detected threats – quarantine or delete.

Particularly noteworthy is the Anti-Theft function, which provides for preliminary synchronization of an Android device with a special web service. Then, in case of loss or theft of the device, its owner can detect the location of the device, block it remotely, receive a message about replacing the “native” SIM card, and even record through the built-in camera the appearance of the attacker who stole the smartphone or the person who simply found it.

The Mobile Security & Antivirus product is distributed free of charge, but is limited to a demo version for 30 days, after which you will have to purchase a commercial version, which will protect your device with maximum reliability from all currently known threats.
