Keeps viruses at arms length, protecting your phone as soon as you've downloaded it.
As smartphones become more open to malicious viruses, AVG - a company that has made its name offering protection for your desktop - has sought to tackle the issue in the much smaller surroundings of the phone.
The free app gets to work as soon as it has downloaded from the
Android Market alerting to action as soon as you begin downloading your next app, load a new document or transfer files from another device.
Every time you launch the app, it will perform a scan of your apps, settings, content and media. You can then open each of these sections to see the breakdown of precisely what has been scanned. There is the option to turn off real-time scanning which is likely to be a bit kinder to your phone's battery life
As well as its security features, FindR is the phone locating feature, while the Task App killer opens up the entire list of apps where you can shut down those no longer needed.
There is also a pro version which offers no ads and blocks spam SMS amongst its added features, but an unobtrusive ad banner is small price to pay for a free app that can cater for all your security needs.
