Smart phones are a valuable tool for the traveller; it’s not
only a way to communicate with others. We can also listen to music, play games
take and edit photos, make movies, surf the web, do our banking and the list
goes on and on.
But have you ever thought of protection for your phone, and
I’m not talking cases or screen protectors. I’m taking about anti-virus
protection. Never thought about it, not a lot of people do. Would you use your
computer or laptop without it? I wouldn’t just as I wouldn’t use my phone
without protection especially with internet capabilities. Phones are an easy
target for malware and viruses.
I have an unlocked Android phone with AVG Anti-Virus
installed and on my recent trip To Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. I changed
my sim card in each country; it’s so much cheaper for calls and data.
Part of the email from AVG
I boarded my plane in Sydney bound for Malaysia, once I had
cleared immigration I purchased myself a sim card from Tune Talk at the airport
and add some credit. I received an email from AVG telling me my phone was in
Malaysia and that the sim card has been changed. The email informed me that remotely I could
lock me phone, wipe all the info off my phone, and make my phone scream which
make your phone let out a high pitched noise they can’t turn off and locate my
phone. I also received 2 more email one when I changed my sim card in Thailand
and also in Singapore. I think its well worth having installed on your phone
and give a peace of mind your phone and personal data are safe.
