Mobile devices have become the cornerstone of our connected lives and we use them for everything from gaming to banking and tracking our health. This makes life incredibly convenient for smartphone users but it also carries a risk to our privacy and security.

Many apps on our smartphones stores generate and store information about us as people. With the average Android users having as many as 95 apps installed on their device, it quickly becomes clear that our devices are portable databanks that carry our contact, financial, health and location data.

With so much personal information stored on our devices, it’s never been more important for smartphone users to protect their data with basic security measures such as setting up a passcode or installing a security app that will check links and scan for infections when you download software or surf the web.

That’s why AVG is delighted to announce that we’ve teamed up with Sony Mobile to make it easier than ever for Sony Xperia customers to protect their devices and their data.

From autumn 2014, all Xperia Z3 smartphones and tablets will come with a free 180 days of AVG AntiVirus PRO so that devices are protected straight out of the box.

 

 

After the trial expires, users can either renew or downgrade to AVG AntiVirus FREE for Android so that their device is protected free of charge.

AVG AntiVirus FREE for Android was the first mobile security application to exceed 100 million downloads on the Google Play Store and has powerful tools to help you protect your device, keep it running smoothly and even locate your device should it get lost or stolen.
