Webroot® Mobile Security

Mobile security for everyday Android use

Webroot® Mobile Security is a security app for Android phones and tablets. It is suited to people who want protection against malicious apps, unsafe websites, scam messages and possible exposure of their account details in known data breaches. The app is developed by Webroot LLC and is listed in the Productivity category.

What it checks

• Scans the device for malware and other security threats.
• Checks incoming SMS messages for suspicious links and scam activity.
• Monitors email addresses against known data-breach information.
• Supports safer browsing in Chrome by checking websites for harmful content.

How it fits into use

The app is designed to provide ongoing checks rather than requiring users to inspect every file or message themselves. Its activity reports and safety information can help users understand what has been checked and whether action may be needed. Safe browsing uses Android accessibility support, so some parts of setup may require permission choices that are worth reviewing carefully.
