Description

Malware Protection
The malware-scanning function is robust with three distinct levels of scanning. A Quick Scan searches installed applications, other executable files, library files and ZIP files to three nested archives. The Smart Scan adds external storage to the Quick Scan. Finally, the Deep Scan goes through all files on internal or external memory, regardless of the extension, and, in my testing, typically was done at just under a minute.

Anti-Theft Function

Premium subscribers gain access to the Anti-Theft functionality on the ESET web portal, my.eset.com, as well as Proactive Protection, which will flag your device as missing if the app detects suspicious behavior. Suspicious behavior includes repeatedly incorrect passcode entries, SIM-card removal or the revocation of administrator privileges from ESET Mobile Security.

Anti-Phishing

ESET Mobile Security blocks known phishing sites and displays a warning message. This feature is available only with some browsers; the Anti-Phishing screen displays a list of your browsers indicating whether each is supported. On its website, ESET promises that Anti-Phishing will work with any browser pre-installed on Android devices, but notes that it’s having a problem with Chrome on Android 6 Marshmallow.
