Software security company Trend Micro announced the latest addition to Trend Micro’s Mobile arsenal – Trend Micro Mobile Security Personal Edition. As you can imagine, this new application goes beyond protecting against various forms of malware and also includes lost device protection as well as enhanced security to block threats while surfing the Web, calling or texting. More precisely, new features include:
- Improved app scanner that blocks infected apps from installing and stealing your personal information.
- Lost device protection that allows users to locate a lost device, trigger an alarm, remotely lock it or even wipe it clean from a personal online portal.
- Enhanced surf, call and text security that is designed to block online threats like banking scams, block unwanted calls and text messages, and inappropriate websites to protect your children.
In addition, Trend Micro Mobile Security Personal Edition will also figure out when the SIM card is removed, automatically locking the device.
The app scanner is free, while the premium services — including Lost Device Protection and Surf, Call, Text Security — are available for D$29.99 for a 1 year license.
