Secure your Android Phone

Tweet

Security is one of the biggest issue for anyone, be it in real life or your virtual life! Virtual life here includes your life on the internet or even what all you do on your Phone or any other gadget. Securing your mobile phone is pretty useful because your mobile phone contains your important contacts and as well as important messages that you probably need! Android is a platform which is prone to various security threats just because it is open source! So, a lot of extra care must be taken for Android Devices to secure them!

There are various applications available for securing your Android phone but I personally prefer Avast Mobile Security because of its various features! The first thing, the Avast Mobile Security is free of cost for Android users! Also, it provides various anti-theft features as well which the other Android Security Applications do not provide. Let us discuss all these features in details.

• SMS/Call Filtering : SMS and Call filter allows you to filter incoming or outgoing calls and incoming SMS's. You can block calls from a specific contact and that will be automatically sent to your voicemail.


• Web Shield : Whenever you browse a web page on your  Android device, Avast automatically scans it and lets you know if there is any security threat on that particular page or no!


• Firewall : A firewall is required to block access to your Android device in order to prevent hackers from invading your Android mobile phone. Also, you can prevent internet usage of a particular application over WiFi or 3G  networks. This feature works only on rooted android devices though as of date.


• Anti-Theft Features :  There are various anti-theft features provided in the Avast Mobile Security for Android. The main features include remote lock, remote memory wipe, remote locate, remote siren and the SIM-card change notification. These features let you perform the respective tasks remotely by just sending a text message to your device.


• And many more...
