SECURING YOUR ANDROID -  ' FIVE MAGICAL TECHNIQUES '

Be Cautious when Installing Apps

Use only Google Play Store to download apps. Avoid third party stores. And when a new version of a game is available, verify it on the developers website and perhaps do do a search for the app on Google. It is also advisable to read reviews on Google Play Store.

Watch out for Phishing / SMS

Security on Android isn't just about the apps that you install on your phone. As with any device - Android or otherwise - be on your guard for Phishing, sites that try to get you to enter personal data and or credit card details. Text messages and emails can all be phishing method and just because you're on your phone doesn't make them less dangerous.Combating phishing on android isn't so different on your computer: useful advice from the Citizens tip is to never tap on a link in a text message from someone you don't know - even if it looks like a company you do business with.

Lock Screen Security

This applies to every smartphones OS, not just Android. Have you got your device's lock-screen settings sorted if it gets stolen, the thief can't access your apps and data? Google's default settings will see you fair,but there are some third-party apps that take interesting and unusual spins on unlocking the phone. Picture Password Lockscreen, for example, gets you to unlock your phone by drawing points, lines and circles on any image you like. ERGO scans your ear and then gets you unlock the device by holding it up to said lug. Fingerprint Scanner LockScreen is a cheeky Android equivalent of Apple's iPhone 5s' Touch ID - it pretends to scan your fingerprint, but really it's just measuring how long your thumb rests on the screen.

Consider Anti-Virus Software

If you'd still like to take the extra step of installing anti-virus software - or if you're thinking of putting it on the device of someone else (an older parent, for example) - a number of are available from the big names of the security world. AVAST Software's Mobile Security & Antivirus, Bitdefenders's Mobile Security & Antiviruss, Kasper-sky Internet Security,Norton Security  antivirus and McAfee Antivirus & Security all have four-start-plus ratings on Google play from thousands regularly. Which you choose depends more on which you've used on your computer before, but all offer a good level of security if you're concerned.

Consider a Parental Control App

A number of companies are trying to develop devices/applications with parental control.They are capable of ensuring children not to install apps that the children shouldn't or compromise data on a shared device. Kids Place,Famigo, MMGuardian and Norton Family are four of the most popular examples with varying features for controlling apps to be installed, sites to be visited, and to set  time limits on usage. In some cases, the apps add time as a reward for good behavior.
