Now days this kind of incidents are common. Most of people are having costly mobile phones and sometimes due to carelessness they lose their mobile. Loosing mobile is something like losing a very precious thing whether it’s costly or cheap. All the important data such as contacts, photos and other documents are stored in Mobiles and no one wants to loose these data.
After this incident we realized that we need to secure our mobile. We used to spend lot of money to buy a mobile but we least care about its security. I thought of checking internet if anything is available to protect mobile. I got surprised to see that there are lots of Apps available which helps to protect mobile phone.

I want to share few online tool and Apps so that everyone will be aware to protect their mobile
#Android Device Manager
Using Google Android Device Manager you can track your mobile. If you have lost your mobile then you can locate your stolen mobile. You can directly send instruction to your mobile phone using computer. Three operations you can perform. Either can ring to your mobile, Lock your mobile and Erase data from mobile.

You can track the location of your mobile as well as you can restrict user to use your mobile.
#McAfee Antivirus & Security
This is a free App from Mcafee. It provides complete security to mobile including Anti-theft feature. It provides complete security solution for mobiles.
Features such as Locate and track, Device lock, remotely wipe data, back and recover data etc. are available. But the feature which I like most is the CaptureCam feature.
CaptureCam feature will take a picture of a person who has stolen your device and send the picture to your registered mail ID when user will try to unlock mobile. It will also send the location of the mobile. So using this feature you can track your mobile location and also you can find the thief.
There are lots of other great features available in McAfee Antivirus & Security. Install this app in your mobile and secure your mobile.
There are lots of other mobile securities apps available. Choose and install at least one app in your mobile to secure your important data.
If you are have already secured your mobile using any app or tool then share it and help others to protect their mobile.
