ESET has already a good name around for the drive against cyber attacks, and now they have come up with the Mobile Security for the Android platform. The ESET Mobile Security was there already, but the new and final version has been released for public, and the support is extended to the tablet devices and the options are set in a far easier way.
The Mobile Security options of the ESET include not just the virus protection, but also the next level anti-theft options. As the app page says, you could stay secure when you are making payments using the Internet banking, sending or receiving emails and using the Internet on the Public Wi-Fi hotspots. Another issue of Malware can be kept away from, as the ESET mobile security keeps a track of all the latest attacks around, and keeps your data away from the attacks of the malware hidden in any application.
The Anti-theft features of the ESET Mobile Security app for Android include:
If at all your device is lost or stolen, the security measures would need just one SMS for controlling the device, but that would be only when the SIM is still running on the lost phone.
Remote Lock and Wipe – By sending an SMS, you could remotely lock the phone, so that any unauthorized access to your personal data could be prevented, and an SMS can even delete your contacts, messages and the data on the memory card.
Remote SMS command can locate the phone using the GPS trackers.
Other Mobile Security options by ESET:
Anti Malware – Whenever an Android phone downloads an application or file from the Internet, the ESET mobile security program would scan each of them for the Malware, and protect the entire file system and other apps from being attacked.
Call Blocking – The call blocker would prevent the device from receiving or making unwanted calls.
Built-in Task Manager – The task manager of the ESET mobile security would perform its own functions like helping in maintaining a good battery life, controlling the running processes, freeing the disk space and monitoring all the vital phone functions.
Trusted friend – This feature would send an SMS to any one number that you have set, when any unknown SIM card is inserted and this trusted friend can also change the password of the phone using SMS.
The newer interface of the ESET Mobile Security looks pretty neat and easy to use, and the app is integrated with the Google Play market. The app is available for free as a trial version for 30 days, and after the basic usage you can decide whether to go with an upgrade to the paid version which costs $9.99 for 1 year subscription.
The app is well worth the price too, as it provides so many security options and is easy to use. And one of the advantages of it, is that the Mobile Security is available for both mobile phones and tablet devices.
The Unique behavior-based detection technology of the app would let you know about any suspicious activity that is being done against the phone.
If at all any tech-intelligent person would try to uninstall the ESET Mobile Security app, they won’t be able to do it unless its authorized. So, unlike the other apps the security is kept intact by the ESET mobile security. The ESET Mobile Security has the interface supporting up to 25 languages, and shifting between the languages is a pretty easy option.
You need to set the list of Trusted SIM cards and the Trusted friends and the SMS commands for the protection through the Anti-theft option.
