Thursday, October 31, 2013
While the apps for security play a major role in the
computer world, the rise of mobile operating systems and the astonishing number
of mobile applications, the mobile security is also put into question. One of
the most recent applications to protect your Android phone is Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware.
The application is designed to protect you from malicious
codes and it is quite simple to use. It offers several key functions such as
scanning, management and privacy management applications . If you choose to scan
your device, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will go through all applications and
files that may contain malicious code and the whole process could take several
minutes.
Policy Manager allows you to inspect the permissions of each
installed application and scan everything that applications have access to,
like your personal data such as SMS messages or your location. The Manager provides an overview of the applications
you have installed, those that are working in the background and to see how
much space and resources they consume. Additionally, there is a Whitelist in
which you can add applications that you feel are safe and they will not be
scanned.
