• As vacation time approaches, you’re probably planning to take your smartphone with you to stay connected, take photos, and maybe even work remotely. However, using mobile devices carries security risks that shouldn’t be overlooked, especially when traveling. An effective mobile antivirus is the key to enjoying your stay with peace of mind.

  Why is Antivirus Essential on Mobile?

  Contrary to popular belief, smartphones and tablets are not immune to viruses, Trojans, ransomware, and other malware. Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting mobile devices, which are often less well-protected than computers. A mobile antivirus solution adapted for Android and iOS systems will allow you to detect and block these threats before they infect your device.

  But that’s not all! A good mobile antivirus will also help you:

• Secure public WiFi hotspots that are not secure

• Control which apps you install

• Filter out malicious websites

• Locate and lock your device remotely if lost or stolen

Choosing the Right Security Solution

There are many antivirus solutions on the market, both paid and free. Before making your choice, compare the different features that will be useful during your vacation, such as:

• Real-time protection against viruses, worms, Trojans, etc.
• Access control for unsecured public WiFi networks
• Antivirus scanning for downloaded apps
• The ability to locate, lock, or wipe your mobile remotely
