14 DAY TRIAL // A few weeks back, ESET released a new Beta version of the ESET Mobile Security for Android applications, so as to provide users with the possibility to get an early taste of the features that the upcoming version 3.0 of the app will have to offer.
The updated application comes with a nice range of new options, including the integration of Anti-Theft into the company’s web interface at my.eset.com.
With this feature, users will be able to locate missing or stolen smartphones, while also having the possibility to remotely wipe all stored information, including SD card, in order to preserve security and privacy.
Moreover, there is also the option to trigger a remote alarm, or to snap photos using the handset’s front and back cameras, in addition to being able to send customized messages to the potential finder of the phone.
There are also new features included in the app, along with improvements for existing ones, such as a series of UI changes, improved Calls & SMS Filter, and the like.
The new ESET Mobile Security BETA release is available for download through the Google Play Store, yet users interested in taking it for a spin will need to join the dedicated Google+ community of beta testers.
