Security Levels
The TrustGo Mobile Security Labs team works around the clock, analyzing Google Play and hundreds of other app marketplaces worldwide to help you avoid the latest mobile threats. These dangers include not only malware and viruses, but also privacy violations, phishing schemes, and other dangers that traditional PC antivirus vendors don’t catch.
