ESET Mobile Security provides malware protection and anti-theft security for your Android device

ESET, the well-known developer of NOD32 Antivirus, has developed a comprehensive mobile security app which combines ESET’s mobile-optimized proactive antivirus scanning engine with antispam and anthitheft features to provide comprehensive and real-time protection against threats to mobile devices. Thus, the app is basically divided in two main features.

Malware protection includes:

Antivirus: It scans all downloaded apps, files, folders and SDcard seeking any type of malware: trojans, viruses, worms, spyware, adware and other emerging threats.What’s more, it includes SMS/MMS Antispam protection, Call Blocking and Security Audit with built-in task manager.

Anti-theft security system includes:

Remote Lock: allows you to block the phone remotely by SMS to prevent unauthorized access to your data.

Remote Wipe: it deletes all phone-stored data remotely using an SMS command, including contacts, messages and memory cards. Last resource to protect your privacy.

GPS Localization: This allows to keep track of your phone remotely by a remote SMS command.

What’s more, the app has been set in a good-looking and user-friendly interface in order to make thing easier. A simple dashboard from where users can easily access all its features. There’s a trial so far, after that you’ll need to upgrade to the paid version (which will be $9.99) if you want to keep using the app. Although this is quite usual in this kind of comprehensive mobile security app. Recommendable.
