 Blocks unwanted calls and text messages
Allows you to lock your device or wipe your data remotely in case of loss or theft
Detects and removes mobile threats before they cause damage
Blocks phishing websites; scans all apps and their updates for threats
Downloads and installs very quickly, won't slow down your device
Finally, you can protect your Android™ smartphone or tablet with Norton. And for good reason: according to a recent Juniper Networks study, the Android™ operating system saw a 472% rise in malware samples since July 2011. This study and other similar ones prompted some industry leaders to call it the “most attacked mobile operating system,” largely in front of next most popular malware target, Symbian.
Norton Mobile Security 2012's protection remedies this problem and revolves around three main areas:
Privacy and sensitive information protection
- Norton Mobile Security 2012 protects your privacy by allowing you to block unwanted phone calls and text messages.
- It also guards your identity and sensitive information by detecting phishing websites and prevents you from revealing such information on these sites; your passwords, credit card numbers, social security number and other important data is safe.
Device protection in case of loss or theft
- Norton Mobile Security 2012 allows you to see where your device is at all times.
- It happens: you know your device is nearby but can't find it. Set up a "scream alarm" with Norton Mobile Security 2012 and make it sound even if the device volume is in silent or vibrate mode.
- Norton Mobile Security 2012 can take snapshots of anyone in front of your device, using the front-facing camera (if available), to help you identify the culprit in case your device has been stolen.
- You can lock your device and even entirely wipe your data remotely so your most precious information can never be used should it fall into the wrong hands.
Mobile threat detection and removal
- Norton Mobile Security 2012 detects and removes mobile threats that hackers could use to steal your data, spam you via text messages or simply take control of your device.
- It scans all "apps" you download, looking for potential threats, and takes appropriate actions to get rid of them if any are found. Updates to these "apps" are also checked.
Norton Mobile Security 2012 is very quick to download and install. It is easy on system resources and will never slow down your device or interfere with your calls, emailing/texting actitivies, Web browsing and more.
