Antivirus. Stop that malware

Android-based devices are now a common target for malware and spyware. A cloud-based antivirus engine stops viruses getting through including unwanted apps such as adware. It also scans new apps for malicious code that may be ‘hiding’ in the app. And because it’s cloud-based you’ll always have the most up-to-date protection… and virus scans won’t drain your battery.

• Cloud-based AV engine: Ultra-fast Antivirus based on cloud technology that doesn’t drain your battery.
• Full scan: Allows you to check the entire phone for possible infections, malware or unwanted apps such as adware.
• On-Access scan: Automatically scans apps as soon as they are installed on your device notifying you immediately of any malicious or suspicious apps.
• Always up-to-date: Comprehensive virus detection thanks to cloud technology which delivers up-to-the-minute protection. The ‘signatures’ from new malware are automatically added to the cloud. We use this technology to ensure virus updates are automatic and up-to-date. This update speed ensures your device is always protected from new viruses.

Losing or having a mobile device stolen can feel disastrous – data, photos, personal phone numbers and more, exposed. A full suite of antitheft tools means that you need never worry again.
