Security Apps to Virus-proof Your Droid

Like every blessing comes along a curse in disguise, so did my new Samsung Galaxy Note Android Smartphone. But I saved my device just on time with these Android security tools.

My new Droid gets me on the toes with free download access to millions of apps. Some keep me entertained, let me check out Oscar nominees and cast my vote, check out selected movies and movie stars been nominated. Also some apps keep recipes, assist me in barcode scanning while shopping, checking out best shopping deals, keep a tab on latest designers’ collection and hottest trend of this season when I am not taking and receiving calls and text messages. I was frivolously downloading and indulging in creative and recreational activities until my husband warned me that I might expose myself to the cybercriminals and their malware ploys. Alarmed and realized that I could be an easy target of hackers and malware writers, I carried out a research on effective Android security apps. I found following Android apps that are known to shield my Android phone from data loss and virus attack.

Not all best things on this earth are expensive. That’s what I felt after reading about this app and its review.

If you choose to use m-Secure – Password Manager app to save your bank details and social security number, then use it in conjunction with Titanium Backup PRO Key app to keep the backup of all the apps.
