Dyman & Associates Risk Management Projects Norton Mobile Security: app protects Android devices

Android is on track to surpass one billion users across all devices in 2014, says the Gartner research and consulting group, but a boost in market share often invites more malware ("malicious software"). Perhaps, then, it's no surprise many Android phone and tablet owners are opting for security software to protect the open source operating system. Tested on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, I've taken Symantec's new Norton Mobile Security app for a spin, which promises to not only protect your device from viruses and other malware but also locks down your privacy settings, scans memory cards for threats and helps you find your lost or stolen phone.
