ESET Mobile Security for Android combines a proactive scanning engine with Anti-Theft and Call Filter features to provide real-time protection against known and emerging threats.

What’s new in the latest version

• New product icon for ESET Mobile Security
  
• Adware Detection
  Adware Detector is ESET’s response to adware apps. Adware apps can be legitimate apps or apps that try to present themselves as legitimate (such as Calculator, torch, or other ). These apps then display full-screen ads even when the application is closed. This way user is unable to detect which app is displaying these pop-up ads. Learn how Adware Detection works.
• Payment Protection
  Payment Protection is a new premium feature that offers additional security against advanced phishing and other attacks for your banking and payment applications. You can find more information about Payment Protection in our Online help and instructions on how to enable Payment Protection in our knowledgebase article.
• Connected Home network scan
  Connected Home enables you to scan your network for devices connected to your router and to check for vulnerabilities. Connected Home scans your network in two steps.
• Key features
• • Online Management of Anti-Theft features—From your my.eset.com Anti-Theft account, you have access to your device’s data, including camera pictures, location tracking, on-screen messages, Anti-Theft optimization settings, current GPS position of a device when low on battery, security password change, and IP address. See the ESET Mobile Security Product Overview (PDF) for more detailed descriptions of the online management features.
  • Ignore threats—Option to add detected threats to a whitelist. When a threat is detected, you have the option to ignore the threat. ESET Mobile Security will then add the name of the file to the Ignore threats list. If the name of the threat file changes, ESET Mobile Security will again detect it as a threat. You can remove the file from the Ignore threats list at any time.
  • Proactive Anti-Theft
    If suspicious activity on your lost device is detected (such as an unauthorized SIM card being inserted or an incorrect password/pattern unlock attempt), you will receive an email notification and Proactive Anti-Theft will lock your device, take camera snapshots, and relay location information so you can track your missing device via my.eset.com.
  • On-Charger Scan—From the Automatic Scans menu, you can choose to only start scans when the device is fully charged and in an idle state (you must enable this feature; it is not enabled by default).
  • The variable depth of scanning (Quick/Smart/Deep)
  • Scheduled scanning
  • Background scanning will run while you use your mobile device
  • Anti-Phishing
  • Call filtering for specific contacts and specific times
