MYAndroid Protection is a comprehensive security suite tailored to safeguard Android devices from potential threats, backup important data and locate lost devices.

Antivirus Functionality

The Antivirus feature of MYAndroid Protection enables a scan of your Android device for possible virus infections. The scans are generally fast and efficient, equipped with a continuous monitoring system that actively checks for incoming threats. A slight drawback to this feature is the lack of customization options. Users are unable to select specific folders for the scan or choose between scanning the SD card or internal memory - the system automatically scans both.

Backup Feature

MYAndroid Protection includes a Backup function, particularly useful for safeguarding contacts stored on your device. This is a handy feature, ensuring that users do not lose important contacts if any damage occurs to the device. Users have the option to back up contacts onto the SD card, or alternatively, by registering for an online account, they can store these details on the web.

AntiTheft Feature

The AntiTheft feature in MYAndroid Protection reduces the risks associated with loss or theft of the device. Once activated, users can track the device's location using GPS, erase personal content remotely, lock the device, or trigger an alarm. All these actions can be performed via SMS, with full instructions provided by MYAndroid Protection. However, it is crucial to note these codes as these instructions may not be accessible if the device goes missing.

Despite not including a personal firewall like its Symbian counterpart, MYMobile Protection, MYAndroid Protection remains a robust tool for preserving the integrity of your device's data and protecting it from viruses.
