This cutting-edge app delivers next generation security to protect users against a
wide range of threats and offers industry-leading defence to safeguard against the damage
than can arise from loss or theft.
BullGuard Mobile Security offers an array of powerful tools unmatched by competitors.
It's easy-to-use, provides intuitive operation and doesn't drain batteries. It delivers
comprehensive protection and ensures that important data is kept safe from prying eyes.
The app also includes BullGuard Mobile Security Manager, a web-based platform that
provides remote access to devices, and answers the problems of safeguarding data faced by
today's mobile users.
KEY FEATURES of the all new BullGuard Mobile Security & Antivirus app
- Antivirus
Antivirus protects against malware, adware and trackware to keep a phone safe and
nuisance-free. It features an ultra-fast cloud-based AV engine that has minimal impact on
battery power and ensures that the very latest virus signatures and definitions are
utilised to scan a device without requiring regular updates or user intervention. An
automatic scan checks apps as soon as they are installed and immediately notifies users if
malicious or suspicious code has been detected. A manual full scan can also be carried out
providing a complete summary of current phone status. Remote monitoring of virus events is
also available through the web-based BullGuard Mobile Security Manager.
- Antitheft and Remote Control (lock, wipe, locate, alarm)
Comprehensive Antitheft tools offer robust protection if a device is lost or stolen.
Features include remote lock and unlock of a device, GPS locate, remote data wipe, and a
Scream function to help locate a device in the immediate area. If someone tries to change
the SIM card the device automatically locks or wipes data. All of these features are
accessible via the Mobile Security Manager on any internet enabled device.
- Mobile Backup with one tap
BullGuard Mobile Security also includes a backup module to safeguard important data.
One-tap backup safeguards key data such as contacts, calendar and SMS information. This
backup feature provides a secure online drive with capacities of up to 100GB. Users can
also easily transfer data between a mobile device and computer ensuring swift and
trouble-free access to backup content on the move.
- Remote control of devices with Mobile Security Manager
BullGuard Mobile Security Manager is a web-based interface that allows users to view
information and reports on various aspects of the software from any internet enabled
device, as well as control many of the features remotely. It offers device monitoring for
messages, voice calls and installed apps, and can show antivirus activity and the data
backed up from your mobile device. It also offers control over antitheft commands,
including remotely locking, wiping and locating a device, or activating a scream command
to locate it in the immediate area.
- Parental Control and monitoring
A powerful Parental Control module helps safeguard children. Parents can discretely
monitor SMS messages, calls and pictures, and view applications that are installed on a
child's device. They can also activate GPS tracking to locate a device. Remote management
of these features provides parents with discreet real-time, flexible monitoring and
control.
- Spam blocker
A Call Manager tool can be used to automatically block numbers from call history,
contacts lists or manual entries via a blacklist. A short code block option also halts
spam messages typically sent from numbers that contain five digits or less, with a
whitelist available to allow certain numbers as users see fit.
Everything you need from a Mobile Security app
"BullGuard Mobile Security is an industry-leading product developed from detailed
research into people's smartphone security needs. As such, it provides comprehensive and
unbeatable protection for mobile users," said Alex Balan, Head of Product Management at
BullGuard.
"It provides users, including parents with young children, with all the protection
they need. It's easy to use, works quietly but effectively in the background and
importantly has minimal impact on system resources and battery life."
BullGuard Mobile Security is available as a 15-day trial for three devices. The full
Premium suite consists of a one year subscription for up to 5 devices, including up to
100GB of storage on the backup drive. It's available as a free download from the Google
Play Store from May 2014.
