Security 3.7.0.7170

Staying protected on the internet is really important no matter what device you're using for browsing. But it becomes a priority when you're using an Android phone, because connecting to an unsecure WiFi network can affect the privacy of your personal information and can allow other people to access your phone and info.

Security by Webroot is a nifty application that cleans your device of malware, keeps you protected while surfing the internet and can help find your lost device by using the developer's website.

Intuitive interface that seems a bit chunky

We've tested many antivirus apps here and may conclude that a stylish interface is a must for such apps, considering that there are so many similar tools available on Google Play Store.

This app comes with plenty of instructions to help guide new users through the registration process. You'll need to set up an account on the developer's website so you can use the features to log in and find your device in case of theft. Users would need to provide an email address and their personal phone number for registration purposes.

Stay protected while surfing the internet

Security app comes with two major sections and instead of having a side menu, it displays a toolbar on the bottom of the screen, letting users access the areas easily. The antivirus requires users to scan their devices for malware related to applications they've installed or websites they've recently visited.

Scans don't last for long, but they depend on the amount of information stored on the device. Users have the option of enabling the install shield and have the app scan applications right after they were installed.

You can also have the app scan any application you attempt to run or block malicious web pages from dialing damaging phone numbers. These are really neat features that we haven't seen in any other antivirus app so far.

Find your device in case of lost

Security app also lets you schedule scans. You can allow remote commands for locating, locking and wiping the device in case you misplace it. There's also the option of blocking calls or texts from certain phone numbers or of blocking unidentified numbers and malicious SMS containing links to malicious or phising websites.

And if these features aren't enough, you can always upgrade to a premium version by paying 4.34$. An upgrade would get you the option of identifying which apps drain your battery and which ones are able to access personal information, track you, or cost you money. It also lets you automatically lock your device if someone removes the SIM card.
