ESET Mobile Security Top 5 Features and Why You Should Install

#1 Antivirus – one of the core features of ESET is the antivirus service. This enables automatic detection and manual scanning in your local files for viruses, malware or apps that damage your smartphone’s system, and keep your financial accounts safeguarded when doing transactions online like paying bills and ordering and buying products.

#2 Ad free – Unlike in most free mobile antivirus apps, ESET offers clean, intuitive, and an ad-free interface. You won’t find those annoying ads appearing out of nowhere, which already takes advantages rather than serving you a legit security service.

#3 Anti-Theft – Perhaps my favorite feature of the app is the Anti-theft protection. This enables you to control and even wipe-out your phone if gets stolen or lost. I know that most OEM brands offer similar basic features, ESET on the other hand, has wider control such as finding your device thru GPS, wiping out device’s data, and ringing your phone remotely.

#4 SMS and Call Filter or Block – Current high-end Android phones come with call and text blocking while you’ll need to look for a decent app if your phone does not come with the built-in filtering system. With ESET, this blocking feature is already included on the app.

#5 Security Audit or Checkup – Before Google has eventually developed and released the Android 6.0 Marshmallow build, problems such as local security issues, and permissions control exist dramatically. That’s why ESET added such feature years before Google finally put emphasis on those particularly the ability to review permissions of installed applications. It is not yet available to most Android phones today but you can already get with ESET Mobile Security.

ESET Mobile Security is free to install for Android (DOWNLOAD ESET HERE) while Windows 10 and Mac have specific ESET product offering. With free ESET, you can use the basic features of the app while you’ll need to subscribe for full protection.

Many stores like Lazada, 7-Eleven, Widget City, and Octagon offer the ESET Mobile Security either bundled free or starting at P250 for Android with a minimum of 90 days license use.
