Lookout Mobile Security:
Lookout Mobile security comes first in our list of top 5 best
android security apps. Lookout Mobile security comes in two different
versions; a free version and a premium version that requires subscription. The
free version offers basic security and tracking services. The free version has
4 basic features. It let you scan your android operating system based device
for malware, back up data and settings and then restore your android phone to a
previous restore point. Lookout mobile security lets you use GPS to track your
android device in case you forgot it somewhere or it gets stolen.
The paid or premium version can be availed by paying a fee
of 30USD per year. The premium version has all the features of the free version
plus the additional ability of letting you remotely wipe of all your data,
remotely lock your android operating system based device and also offers
some advanced backup and restore features.
McAfee Wave Security:
The second app in our list of best android security apps
is McAfee Wave security. Ironically McAfee wave security does not offer any
kind of scanning or virus removing feature for which it is famous for, instead
this security offers you the ability to remotely wipe of data off your device
in case of lost or theft, remotely lock your device and to track the location of
your androidoperating system based device after you lost it. It also lets you
backup and restore the device to a previously created restore point after it
has been recovered after a loss or theft.
LastPass:
LastPass is by far the best password management solution in
list of best android security apps developed for android devices. It
contains an android device based application combined with a computer based web
browser extension. This application lets your save all your passwords and user
ids in a cloud based password vault. The application synchronized itself with
the browser based extension and can automatically fill in user ids and
passwords for you. Apart from the passwords this application can store your
other sensitive information like your credit card numbers and social security
number. LastPass can protect you from identity theft and can also fill in forms
for you while you browse the internet.
mSecure:
Like the lastPass, msecure is also used to store sensitive
information like your id, password, social security number, bank account number
and credit card numbers. With its 256 bit blowfish encryption it offers rock
solid protection and absolute safety for your sensitive data. The app also
contains a password generator that helps you generate strong and difficult to
guess passwords. It also contains a kill switch feature; this feature wipes off
all your data if someone tries to guess your password. The wiped off data can
be restored using the restore feature of this application.
DoridDream Killer:
Droid dream killer comes at number five in our lift of best
android security apps. The DroidDream killer has become a nightmare for android
operating system based devices. This application acts like your first line
of defense against the DroidDream malware and stops the malware from infecting
your device.
