 Dear Member,
Smartphone advances have granted people the option of having the full Web experience right in their hands. Unfortunately, that experience brings a lot of risks along with all the fun. Mobile Security for Android tries to address that fact.
This app is for Android devices, and is published by Trend Micro. It promises to guard users against identity thieves, unwanted calls and texts, and objectionable content (if children will sometimes play with the phone, for example). Unfortunately, it costs $3.99, but a 30-day free trial's available.
Stay Safe

Network intrusion detection and protection is a pretty important subject, and although opinions vary, open source approaches to creating software often turn out very effective solutions. A tool called Snort is something security experts should look at, then.
The official description of Snort paints it as "a free, open source network intrusion detection and prevention system capable of performing real-time traffic analysis and packet logging on IP networks." Around 4 million downloads have already occurred, too, ensuring it's had plenty of testing and success.

One unpleasant habit of many types of malware is their tendency to place registry keys in the system registry. This can make removal difficult. RegAssassin is designed to solve that problem, however.
As an official description of the tool explains, RegAssassin "allows you to remove registry keys by resetting the key's permissions and then deleting it." Just don't get overenthusiastic and discard something your computer needs in order to operate.
With hackers getting more and more aggressive every year, security-conscious individuals can use all the help they can get in order to stay safe. And Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware software, which performs precisely the function its name suggests, represents a useful tool.
This software, which is available for free (while there is also a paid version), aims to detect and destroy malware more effectively than everything else out there. It's quick, too, meaning scans shouldn't lock up your computer for hours on end.
