GO Security is an effective way to protect your device

With smartphones and tablets getting ever more complex and similar to computers, fears have started to arise over viruses and other unwanted software. To combat this, there are several antiviral phone apps out there, but picking one is tricky. GO Security is one of the stronger candidates, offering a lot of protective features. Not only is it free, but it also bundles antivirus AppLock features.

Antivirus AppLock snooper protection and more!

The GO Security app packs a lot of features that many phone users won’t have even considered. When you actually think about how easy it is for another personal to steal your device, or simply pick it up at work or out in a bar, it makes sense to have layers of defense. This app uses an antivirus engine called AV-Test Full Score, which is purported to be the fastest virus detecting engine in the world, with the most up-to-date definitions. Though such a claim is hard to verify, reports do look good around the web. This includes real-time protection against malware that might be picked up while browsing the internet, something that more and more of us use our phones for daily. On top of these security features come some useful privacy features too, so as well as antivirus AppLock is also available to let you limit individual apps. Very useful if relatives or friends like to snoop.

Protection without complications

One of GO Security’s big plus points is that it’s easy to use, with a very straightforward appearance. Casual mobile users can still get virus protection with this app thanks to intuitive navigation and bold design, with clean lines and clear text. In many ways it’s easier to use than desktop PC antivirus software. Better still, this app is optimized to avoid big battery drain on these background processes, something which puts people off many security apps. The AppLock feature is an excellent bit of usability, as it lets you target individual apps to be protected. You can leave your phone unlocked around friends, as they still won’t be able to access social media accounts. Lastly, you’ll find a privacy clean-up tool which can clear browser history with a quick button press, sometimes easier than navigating the actual browser history menus.

GO and boost your security!

There’s really very little to detract from the GO Security app, as it performs a lot of background functions without the old problem of battery drain or overheating. You do need to watch out for in-app purchases, but that shouldn’t be an issue and it’s worth the trade-off for robust protection. You can even take a sneaky photo of someone who tries to unlock your device! You might even find viruses that you didn’t even know you had.
