Mcafee Security Proves Great Value For The Samsung Galaxy Nexus
|
One of the advantages of Android handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is that they give the user access to a variety of internet services and online facilities. The problem with using features such as these is that they increase the risk of contracting a virus or a security threat on the device. Online security company Mcafee have released a comprehensive security suite to help protect your Android device against threats such as these.
The Mcafee Mobile Security 2.0 suit is a comprehensive package designed to help keep your Android phone safe. The system can be used on all devices that run version 2.1 of the operating system through to the latest Ice Cream Sandwich version that is used on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. One of the key features of this new software package is the App Alert service. App Alert provides the user with a host of information about the applications that they have downloaded and how they are using your personal information. Android is the most popular operating system in the UK and for this reason handsets are particularly vulnerable to phishing attacks where malicious software attempts to steal information from your device. App Alert helps safeguard your phone against attacks such as this.
The Mcafee software for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not only superb for keeping you safe from malicious software but it can also help you to stop receiving calls and messages from unwanted numbers. You can designate any numbers that you do not wish to receive calls or messages from and the software automatically blocks any contact. This feature may prove particularly useful if you receive nuisance or threatening calls. The security software also works superbly if your phone is not in your possession. If you access your account from a Firefox or Internet Explorer browser then you are given the facility to track your phone if you have misplaced it. If you fail to find the device then you are given the option to lock the handset and completely wipe the contents. The security suite is not the cheapest package available at £24.99 for a one year subscription but when you compare this to the cost of replacing a phone such as the Galaxy Nexus then it seems a wise investment.
Users of Android phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus can gain numerous benefits from the new Mcafee software package. In addition to keeping your personal data safe the suite does a great job of filtering unwanted calls and even offers facilities to help you should you lose your phone.
