Keep Your Android Phone Secure This Holiday Season

As the holiday season approaches, we’re all busy shopping for gifts, planning festive gatherings, and staying in touch with family and friends. Many of us are using our Android phones more than ever—for shopping, banking, or simply catching up on holiday deals. But with all this activity, our phones are more vulnerable to cyber threats.

Why Android Security Is Essential During the Holidays

The holiday season sees a massive rise in online shopping, and unfortunately, cybercriminals know it’s prime time for scams.

A report by the FBI warns that Americans lost over $100 million to holiday scams in 2021 alone.

During this busy season, common threats like phishing attacks, malicious ads, and fake shopping apps increase, aiming to trick people into giving away sensitive information.


Android phones, as popular as they are, aren’t immune to these risks.

With around 70% of all mobile malware attacks targeting Android devices, it’s crucial to have proper security in place.

Cybercriminals often take advantage of popular holiday activities like online shopping and gift-card purchases to sneak malicious software onto your device.


How Shield Keeps You Protected

Shield: Antivirus Home Screen offers powerful protection to help keep your Android secure, so you can focus on enjoying the holidays.


Here’s how it works:

  • Malware and Virus Protection: Shield scans your device automatically for malware, viruses, and suspicious files that could compromise your personal data.

  • WiFi Security: With all the traveling and holiday get-togethers, public WiFi networks are a go-to for quick access. However, these networks can be unsafe. Shield’s WiFi scanner checks the security of any network you connect to, warning you of potential risks.

  • Real-Time Protection: Shield doesn’t just protect when you remember to scan your phone; it offers continuous, real-time monitoring to keep your device secure 24/7.

  • App Locking for Extra Security: You might have some holiday shopping or banking apps you don’t want others to access. Shield lets you lock individual apps, keeping them accessible only to you.
