What is ESET Mobile Security?
The number of devices running “Green Robot” is steadily increasing, and at the same time, the number of potential dangers – spyware and malware – is also increasing. A user cannot protect themselves from this threat on their own, even if they are very careful and suspicious of visiting various internet resources and downloading content. An excellent helper in this situation can be a security tool from the well-known company ESET called Mobile Security & Antivirus!
This is not just antivirus software; it is a whole complex of modern tools to protect Android devices from a wide range of dangers. Apart from the primary function of the antivirus, this program has a whole package of additional utilities, whose task is to protect against spam, fraudulent activities through phishing sites, searching for a lost or stolen device, and so on.
After installing Mobile Security & Antivirus, the program will independently (with the prior consent of the user) scan the internal and external memory for the presence of potential threats. In the future, you can configure the parameters of such a check by days of the week or a specified time interval. A mandatory function is to check the safety of any content downloaded and installed on the device, which almost 100% guarantees that malware will be detected and eliminated in time.
When installing the tool, four icons are additionally located on the screen, each of which performs a narrowly specialized task. You can use a filter for incoming calls and SMS messages from contacts that are not in the phone book, activate reliable protection against fraudulent websites when working on the Internet, set the frequency of updating the antivirus database of the program, set the option to interact with detected threats – to quarantine or delete.
The “Anti-Theft” function deserves special attention, which provides for the preliminary synchronization of the Android device with a special web service. After that, in case of loss or theft of the device, its owner can find the location of the device, remotely block it, receive a message about replacing the “native” SIM card, and even capture the appearance of the attacker who stole the smartphone or the person who simply found it through the built-in camera.
The Mobile Security & Antivirus product is distributed free of charge, but is limited to a 30-day demo version, after which you will have to purchase a commercial version that will protect the device with maximum reliability from all known threats at the moment.
