Antivirus Security

The built-in antivirus solution defends Android phones and tablets against newly emerging and existing threats. Three scanning layers—app scanner, download scanner, and storage scanner—ensure comprehensive coverage. This multilayer approach helps block malicious applications, risky downloads, and harmful files before they can cause damage.

Virus & Malware Scanner

Equipped with a 100% detection rate, the scanner identifies viruses, malware, ransomware, and adware with high accuracy. Both on-demand and on-install scanning ensure that threats are discovered early, while malware removal tools help maintain device safety around the clock.

Web Protection

Web Protection shields users from phishing, fraud, and online scams. It actively filters suspicious websites to protect personal data, financial information, and login credentials during browsing or online shopping.

Scam Alert & Chat Protection

Scam Alert analyzes links received through messaging apps, texts, and notifications to prevent exposure to fraudulent content. Malicious URLs are detected before they are opened, and risky links are blocked from being forwarded.

Call Blocking

The call blocking system automatically stops known spam and scam calls while identifying suspicious callers in real time. Personalized block lists offer additional control, and the detection engine becomes more accurate through global community reports.

App Anomaly Detection

This industry-first feature uses behavioral monitoring to identify harmful actions in apps—even before they are officially classified as malware. Real-time anomaly detection ensures proactive protection against advanced threats.

Identity Protection

Identity Protection scans the web for leaked account information, password breaches, and compromised data. Alerts notify users when personal details appear in a breach, helping safeguard digital identity.

App Lock

Sensitive apps such as banking, messaging, and email can be secured using biometric authentication, ensuring private information stays protected.

Anti-Theft Tools

Remote location, locking, and security features help protect personal information if a device is lost or stolen.

Autopilot

Autopilot analyzes device behavior and provides intelligent security recommendations to strengthen overall protection.

VPN Service

Up to 200 MB per day of encrypted VPN traffic is included, helping secure public Wi-Fi usage and online browsing.

Security Reports

Weekly activity reports summarize scans performed, suspicious links blocked, and security events detected.

Privacy and Permissions

To deliver complete protection, the app uses specific permissions such as Device Admin for Anti-Theft, Accessibility for link scanning, Call Screening for call blocking, and Foreground Services for real-time scanning. All data is securely processed and never shared with third parties.
