Introduction to a video on responding to smartphone security threats

To commemorate the domestic launch of 'V3 Mobile Security,' a free smartphone security solution capable of malware scanning and privacy protection, AhnLab has opened a dedicated website (http://www.ahnlab.com/kr/site/html/event/2016/v3mobile/index.html) and is running an online promotion until Monday, February 29.

The dedicated V3 Mobile Security website recently launched by AhnLab introduces the process by which V3 Mobile Security responds to increasingly sophisticated smartphone security threats through visually appealing videos. It also provides tips for "smart" smartphone usage, such as how to delete unnecessary apps, prevent loss, and respond to theft.

In addition, coffee vouchers will be awarded to 900 winners selected by lottery from among users who downloaded V3 Mobile Security and entered the event. Smartphone users can easily enter through the event pop-up window that automatically appears after installing 'V3 Mobile Security' by Monday, February 29.

A social network service (SNS) recommendation event using hashtags (#) is also being held. You can enter the event by recommending V3 Mobile Security on Facebook and Instagram by selecting one of the three required hashtags (#V3Mobile #V3AppInstallation #EssentialApp) and posting it publicly. AhnLab will give away hamburger set vouchers to 100 people through a lottery.

The newly released 'V3 Mobile Security' is characterized by enhanced performance as a user-centric life security solution, shifting from a focus on malware scanning to a focus on malware scanning, compared to the existing 'V3 Mobile Standard 2.0' which is pre-installed on smartphones, with features such as strengthened malware scanning capabilities, various privacy protection functions, and easy and fast security check functions.

Android smartphone users can prevent the exposure of personal private information, such as photos, specific apps, and internet access history, as well as security checks when using the smartphone, such as mobile banking or installing separate APKs.
