Now avast! Mobile Premium customers can also choose to have pictures taken or sounds recorded of thieves who attempt to unlock their phone. The solution includes two cornerstone apps: avast! Mobile Security and avast! Mobile Backup.Īvast! Mobile Security: To protect their data and retrieve a stolen device, free customers can already remotely locate, lock, or wipe data from their lost phone, or sound an alarm. The premier version’s user interface has been further simplified for smooth and easy access to all new features. “avast! Mobile Premium easily fills the rapidly growing need for on-the-go security and protection.” Keeping Track of Device and DataĪvast! Mobile Premium includes the same antivirus and anti-malware protection as the free version, which was certified by independent testing organization AV-Test with top-level effectiveness (99.8%) and 100% in usability. “More than half the people in the US own a smartphone and consumers are growing more concerned by the day about the security of the information on their mobile devices,” said Vincent Steckler, Chief Executive Officer at AVAST. AVAST found that not only are consumers lax in using anti-theft features to prevent losing their mobile device and the data on it but nearly 50% of US smartphone owners do not back up their content as well. In a customer survey with more than 167,000 worldwide respondents, AVAST found that one in four smartphone users in the US has lost or had their device stolen at least once, costing an average of $372 per person. Anti-theft, along with mobile backup, addresses consumer’s primary concern of losing important content such as pictures, contacts, and even financial information when their mobile device is either lost or stolen. Geofencing, a core anti-theft feature of avast! Mobile Premium, creates a virtual perimeter around a device sounding a loud alarm if someone attempts to take the device beyond a user-set distance.
avast! Mobile Premium offers customers new superior anti-theft and backup technologies that will help them recover a lost or stolen phone and the data stored on it.
