ESET, one of
the leading
developers of
security
software, has
just released
its Mobile
Security
application
for Android devices. A trial version
of the application is available in the
Google Play store, but requires
purchase after 30 days.
According ESET, the latest version of
Mobile Security can be used for both
Android smartphones and tablets.
It comes pre-loaded with support for
25 language localizations and the
option to switch between them
directly from the menu.
The security application offers a slew
of features, such as: SMS/MMS
Antispam, Anti-Theft Security System
with GPS Localization, SIM matching,
as well as Remote Lock and Remote
Wipe.
With the Anti-Theft Security System,
the application allows users to keep
control over their sensitive data stored
on the phone, even if their Android
device is lost or stolen. Thanks to the
integrated GPS Localization, the lost or
stolen device can be located using a
simple remote command.
ESET Mobile Security allows users to
block the device remotely in order to
prevent unauthorized access to the
data on the device by using the
Remote Lock option. Moreover, the
Remote Wipe command will allow
users to delete all data stored on the
phone, remotely, by sending an SMS.
There’s also an SMS/MMS Antispam
feature that provides users with the
option to define trustworthy contacts
by putting them on either a black or
whitelist. Blocking messages from
unknown numbers is possible as well.
ESET Mobile Security is now available
as a 30-day trial version in the Google
Play store and it should be fully
compatible with all devices running
Android 2.0.1 and up. It is also worth
mentioning that a one-year license
can be purchased for 9.99 USD (7.5
EUR).
“There is definitely a significant
growth of Android threats that we are
detecting at ESET malware research
centers around the world. The new
ESET product not only protects you
against malware with its unique
behavior-based detection, but offers
protection for your data in case of
device theft or loss,” said ESET Security
Intelligence Team Leader Robert
Lipovsky.
