Lookout Mobile Security’s new Safe Browsing feature stops phishing scams and malicious links from affecting your phone.
PCWorld - If you own a smartphone, you probably do quite a bit of web browsing on it. But how many times have you actually checked to see whether the links you click on are safe or not? Believe it or not, your smartphone is prone to phishing scams, malicious sites and drive-by downloads, just like your PC. Luckily, Lookout Mobile Security has your back with its new Safe Browsing feature.
Malicious sites try and trick people into entering personal information about themselves or, even more annoying, can automatically download malware to your phone. Because of a phone's smaller screen, users are three times more likely to click on a suspicious link than if they are using a PC (Trusteer Report, January 2011).
Available for both trial and premium users of Lookout Mobile Security ($3/month or $30/year), Safe Browsing reviews every website in real time before the site loads to confirm whether it is safe or malicious. More
