Mobile Security Software works just like most Antivirus software on PCs, it defends your computer. But since mobile security software is for mobile devices, they have to be different.

Software for mobile protects you from viruses. Viruses can be obtained discreetly just by downloading something. Viruses are very simple to get, difficult to find, and can be very bad for your mobile device.

Another thing security for mobile does is that it gets rid of Snoopware. Snoopware can be downloaded similar to a virus but snoopware takes a hold of your camera, taking photos and videos when you don't want it to. This can be especially bad if the hacker behind it accesses personal information or your address.

With M.S.S you can also get a black list/white list. The blacklist is a list of people and phone numbers that you don't want to receive data from. This means that if they try to call or text you they cannot contact you. The white list is the list of people that you know and want to receive calls and texts from

They also usually include an anti-spam. Anti-spam is a way to block texts that are just spammy, or trying to sell you something. This is very useful to cut down on time spent reading texts.

Security Software also has firewalls. Firewalls can control what comes into the phone, like downloads. This eliminates most viruses before they even get into the phone, which is very handy.

Most mobile security programs don't use a lot of your phone's resources. Most of the time you can't even notice that you have a mobile security software in use. Also, the battery doesn't take much of an impact if it does at all.

Most security for mobile are very inexpensive. Norton Mobile Security is only $29.99 a year per phone, which is only about 8 cents per day.

Security for Mobile protects your phone very well. This is great because most smartphones today store a lot of data, and some of the information can be very valuable. Mobile Security software is easily worth the money especially if you obtain data a lot.
