Avast! a lansat versiunea Beta a noului lor produs de securitate pentru telefoanele si tabletele ce ruleaza sistemul de operare Android.
Produsul este unul revolutionar prin doua aspecte: aduce o componenta Firewall, pentru prima data pe un telefon mobil si ofera toate functiile in mod gratuit.
Spre deosebire de concurenta, care ofera componenta Anti-Theft si setarile avansate ale celorlalte componente intr-o versiune Premium, Avast! va oferi programul lor absolut gratuit chiar si dupa incheierea perioadei de testare BETA.

Iata caracteristicile complete:
avast! Mobile Security
- Antivirus: Performs on-demand scans of all installed apps and memory card content, as well as on-access scans of apps when they are first launched. Options for scheduling scans, virus definition updates, uninstalling apps, deleting files, or reporting a false-positive to our virus lab.
- Privacy Report: Scans and displays access rights and intents of installed apps, identifying potential privacy risks, so you know how much info you are really providing to each app.
- SMS/Call Filtering: Filter calls and/or messages from your contact list using set parameters based on day(s) of the week, start time, and end time. Blocked calls redirect to voicemail, while blocked messages are stored via a filter log. It is also possible to block outgoing calls.
- App Manager: Similar to Windows Task Manager, it shows a list of running apps and their size (MB), CPU load, used memory, and number of threads and services – with an option to stop or uninstall.
- Web Shield: The avast! Web Shield for Android scans each URL that loads and warns you if the browser loads a malware-infected URL.
- Firewall: Add a firewall to stop hackers. Disable an app’s internet access when on WiFi, 3G and roaming mobile networks. (Works on rooted phones only)
- Anti-Theft cu urmatoarele caracteristici:
- App Disguiser: After downloading avast! Anti-Theft, the user can choose a custom name that disguises the app (e.g. call it “Pinocchio game”) so that it is even harder for thieves to find and remove.
- Stealth Mode: Once anti-theft is enabled, the app icon is hidden in the app tray, leaving no audio or other trace on the target phone – the app is ‘invisible’, making it difficult for thieves to detect or remove.
- Self-Protection: Extremely difficult for thieves to remove (especially on rooted phones), Anti-Theft protects itself from uninstall by disguising its components with various self-preservation techniques. On rooted phones it is able to survive hard-resets and can even disable the phone’s USB port.
- Battery Save: Anti-Theft only launches itself and runs when it needs to perform tasks. This preserves battery life and makes it very difficult for thieves to shut it down.
- SIM-Card-Change Notification: If stolen and a different (unauthorized) SIM card is inserted, the phone can lock, activate a siren, and send you notification (to a remote device) of the phone’s new number and geo-location.
- Trusted SIM Cards List: Establish a ‘white list’ of approved SIM cards that can be used in the phone without triggering a theft alert. You can also easily clear the trusted SIM cards list, and leave just one in the phone as the only trusted one.
- Remote Settings Change: A setup wizard guides the user through the installation process on rooted phones. No command-line knowledge is necessary to install Anti-Theft rooted. Also supports upgrading.
- Remote Features – SMS commands provide you the following REMOTE options for your ‘lost’ (or stolen) phone: Siren, Lock, Display Messages, Locate, Memory Wipe, Call/SMS Forwarding, History, Restart, and more.

Bravo AVAST!
Degeaba are componente inovatoare, daca la detectie va sta foarte prost. Cum, de exemplu e AVG pe Android sau Linux, nu mai stiu.
nu este primul produs pentru mobile security care introduce Firewall… NetQin are deja acesta optiune chiar in varianta free
Radule, poti sa-l testezi, te rog? Ai vreo informatie cand se va lansa versiunea finala?
@BlueStrut: Da, l-am testat. Pe un set de 182 de virusi are o detectie de 174, ceea ce il plaseaza pe locul doi, imediat dupa Kaspersky. Nu stiu cand va fi lansata versiunea finala.
