According to a recent Nielsen report, a majority of smartphone owners (62%) have downloaded one of the more than 1 million apps available for Android and iOS devices. However, this surge in growth is accompanied by the potential for malicious apps to damage or threaten mobile security.
To protect yourself and your stuff, it’s time to download and install McAfee Mobile Security 2.0. This latest generation includes:
- Complete Anti-virus, Anti-spyware and Anti-phishing Protection: Scans and cleans malicious code from files, memory cards, applications, Internet downloads and text messages.
- Protection from Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs): McAfee is the first to protect you from applications that include spyware, adware and dialers, despite the fact that these programs may have been downloaded in conjunction with a program that you want.
- Web Protection: McAfee SiteAdvisor® protects you from web threats by blocking risky links within text messages, email and social networking sites. It also safeguards against potential phishing sites, browser exploits and malicious quick response (QR) codes.
