PRESS RELEASE
London, April 3, 2014 - Because of the growth of mobile commerce and the need to keep users safe as they increasingly rely on mobile devices, security expert Avira announced today that it has added three features to its new premium Avira Antivirus Security Pro app to protect the 95% of adults currently using a mobile in the UK. Available for every Android smartphone and tablet owner, the features were developed from Avira's new mobile development office in Silicon Valley.
The upgrades include an all important Browse Safely function which ensures infectious websites are blocked using powerful real time URL monitoring technology so users will not be duped by fraudsters or phishing attacks. Because mobile devices are increasingly susceptible to the most recent malware attacks, Hourly Updates will keep the device safe with frequent updates so users have confidence that they're always protected. The third new feature,Quick Support Access means if a user has a problem, Avira experts are just a call or a click away.
"It is common knowledge that many malware attacks now come through the browser, not just from malicious apps, and that is just unacceptable to those Android users who simply want to stay safe while surfing, playing or working on their mobile Android device," explained Leon Crutchley, Mobile Products Manager for Avira. "We have worked very hard to provide our users that want protection everywhere, a premium app that keeps them safe when browsing online and also when they are using any app on their device."
