Privacy Defender - SecurityAll-In-One Mobile Security & Privacy App by Pligence is a comprehensive security solution designed to protect Android devices from a wide range of threats. The app integrates multiple security features including antivirus scanning, malware detection, adult content blocking, anti-spyware protection, a mobile firewall, ad tracker blocking, photo encryption, and app locking. It aims to safeguard users' personal information and ensure privacy while using their mobile devices.
The antivirus scanner performs quick and deep scans to detect and remove viruses, malware, and spyware, with continuous monitoring to catch malicious files as they are downloaded. The malware scan analyzes app behavior to identify suspicious or harmful applications. Parental controls are included to block adult content and ensure safe browsing for children.
Anti-spyware features prevent unauthorized access to personal and financial data, as well as block attempts to misuse the camera or microphone. The built-in mobile firewall monitors and blocks malicious traffic, ad trackers, and phishing attempts. Safe browsing protection alerts users when visiting dangerous websites that may contain viruses or spyware.
Additional features include a photo vault for encrypting sensitive photos, videos, and files, as well as an app lock to prevent others from accessing your apps. The app also identifies OS and device vulnerabilities, checks Wi-Fi network security, and provides updates on the latest security threats and fraud news.
Notably, Pligence emphasizes that it does not collect, track, or store any personally identifiable information (PII) or user location data. The app uses Accessibility Permission for its safe browsing feature to capture website URLs and identify malicious sites. It also employs Android’s VpnService to implement its firewall functionality for detecting harmful traffic.
