8 applications to protect information on your smartphone

in #technology6 years ago
  1. Adblock Browser
    Adblock Browser is a mobile browser with a built-in ad blocker. It is through the fault of the last so slowly loaded pages, increases network traffic, and the battery is discharged 20% faster. But this is not the worst thing that can happen. Often under the guise of advertising, malware and spyware are hidden. Adblock Browser protects the privacy of the user.

  2. Micro Guard FREE
    Micro Guard FREE does not allow anyone to listen to your conversations. The service identifies programs and applications that try to access the microphone, and alerts the user with a special signal.
    Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know that special services can connect to absolutely any phone in the world, no matter who its owner is. Therefore, even the director of the FBI uses an anti-wiretapping application.

  3. AppLock
    AppLock is a gateway application that blocks access to confidential information. With it, you can close your social networks, photos, messages, e-mail for another user.
    The service allows you to configure profiles on the smartphone with different levels of access. For example, a guest can only call, but not open the gallery. The gateway is locked with a password, a graphic key or a fingerprint (for devices running Android 6.0 and higher).

  4. Kid's Shell
    Kid's Shell is a children's shell for working only with authorized programs. The application creates a parallel working panel on top of the home screen, to which you can duplicate safe icons - games, tutorials, music and other applications at the parents' discretion. At the same time, social networks, calls and online stores will be unavailable. To enter and exit the application, you must enter a password.

  5. Camera Guard
    Camera Guard - blocking the camera from spyware and viruses. Typically, every second installed application requests access to the camera, creating a vulnerable window for transferring photo and video data to the Internet. The service blocks any attempted unauthorized access to the camera.

  6. Boxcryptor
    Boxcryptor securely encrypts your files before saving them in cloud-based databases, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Even if you are not a fan of Dan Brown's books and are not keen on cryptography, you may always need to keep a copy of confidential documents, intellectual property items inaccessible to other users.
    If by accident your password becomes known to an outsider, he will not be able to understand the encoded information.

  7. TunnelBear VPN
    TunnelBear allows you to hide your IP address from the resources that are interested in this information. In addition, this simple and convenient application provides data protection if you use a public Wi-Fi hotspot.

  8. DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser
    DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser - a search engine that does not provide information about user requests. DuckDuckGo helps keep your privacy. It does not store IP addresses, does not write user information, and uses cookies only if necessary.
