Effectiveness:  

SMobile Security Shield Parental Control Edition, by default, always runs in the background protecting the mobile device from viruses and other malware programs that can damage or destroy data or make it accessible to unauthorized users. In addition to this real time scanning protection, users can schedule scans to be run periodically or on demand. The mobile devices built-in memory is protected as is supplemental memory, such as a MicroSD card, if used. Users can also specify scans of the entire devise or limit scans to specified files. Another handy option allows the program to scan any memory card that is added automatically upon installation. There’s a VirusGuard menu which provides access to scan, virus and monitor logs as well as most recent scan and update information. Firewall protection is also included and sensitivity can be controlled by the user.

SMobile Security Shield Parental Edition even protects the mobile device in the event of theft or loss. Using the Parental Control Dashboard which is available anywhere that has internet access, the device can be remotely locked and data wiped from it. Parents also have the ability to backup all data on the device remotely from the Parental Control Dashboard so that even if the phone has fallen into the wrong hands, valuable information needn’t be lost. The phone can also be located from the dashboard if the GPS feature is activated on it.
