ESET Mobile Security for Android


ESET Mobile Security is a full suite of security and privacy tools rolled into one app. Full-phone antivirus and malware scanning, call/SMS/MMS blacklisting, and a host of anti-theft features are all accessible from the main screen. As if that weren't enough, the app also has built-in system monitoring functions to show you every running process along with its resource usage. The app's in beta at the moment, but it runs as smooth as it looks—and it's free.

Key Features and Benefits
Proactive threat protection
Protect your smartphone with ESET's heuristics detection that alerts you to any suspicious activity on your phone. All applications, files, folders, and SD memory cards are continually scanned for trojans, viruses, worms, spyware, spam, and other attacks with ESET's proactive heuristics technology.

Anti-theft security system
Guard against device loss or theft with multiple layers of security that allow you to maintain control over phone-stored data with simple to use text commands.

■Remote Lock—Prevent unauthorized access to your phone's data
■GPS Localization—Locate your lost or stolen phone on a map
■Remote Wipe—Wipe all personal information and restore phone to factory setting

Security audit with built-in task manager
Monitor all vital phone functions, including battery life, free disk space, running processes, Bluetooth, and device visibility. Take action on the spot, including terminating any processes that increase your security risk.
