Norton Mobile Security For Android Smartphones

Overview of Norton Mobile Security
If you own a laptop or computer it is probably fair to say that you have some form of anti-virus software or internet security software on it to protect you against unwanted threats.

If you own a smartphone, which many now do, would it be fair to say that you do not have any software on it to protect you against the same sort of threats?!

If you do then fantastic, you are one of the few who are protected. If you do not, have you ever considered how much information you have on your phone and how connected you are?

Just consider for a moment the consequences of loosing your phone. Insurance may cover the physical cost, but what about the data, the contact numbers etc.

Only 18% of U.S. adults feel their mobile phones are “very safe”
36% of U.S. adults have had their mobile devices lost or stolen
Mobile phone thefts make up 50% of all robberies in the UK.

It’s not at all unrealistic to say that you may have on your phone:

300 personal contacts
15 or 20 account logins
Multiple credit card and debit card numbers

In other words, smartphones carry the same kinds of sensitive information as laptops.So why don’t we protect them the same way? Whether you are protected or not it is worth considering Norton Mobile Security (NMS) for Android.

From the world famous software company Norton, this software is designed specifically for smartphones and offers more than just basic virus protection.

There are few security threats on mobile devices at this time, but with smartphones and their operating systems developing rapidly we see more and more incidents where some sort of software could protect you.

Norton Mobile Security protects your mobile device against loss, theft and malware. Norton lends its anti-malware, anti virus, and security expertise to mobile.

Norton Mobile Security turns the prospect of all mobile related security a lot less daunting. One app that does it all. A simple setup and configuration and simple on-going use.
