ES Security Manager

Lock your phone remotely, password-protect apps and hunt down handset viruses with this useful. 


Free Covers three essential security bases 

If you value the data on your phone or are worried about stumbling across a virus, ES Security Manager is one way of looking after your prized smartphone-stored possessions. Comprising an application protector, threat detector and remote locker, the three most important bases of security ore catered for.

With the Application protector you'll be able to view the entire list of apps currently stored on your phone, and choose whether to password protect specific apps or alternatively guard them with a gesture pattern you can simply draw out on a grid.

In the threat detector you can perform an entire scan of your device to uncover any viruses lurking on your SD card or handset, while your final security check is the remote locker. When your handset goes missing, you can choose to lock the phone by SMS or by SIM from another, separate phone to protect contacts, texts and other information from being accessed.

The simplicity of using this app is likely to appeal to many Android users. We would question how long it could actually take for someone to work out your gesture password with such a basic input grid, but the remote locker feature is reason enough to grab this app.
