This review should be a "zero to hero" story, given the enormous jump TrustGo has taken in tests from independent antivirus labs. Coupled with features offered by many other security suites at the low, low price of nothing should have made this app-focused security suite a slam-dunk. But the app's poor implementation of anti-theft features and some issues removing suspected malware means it won't be taking a high score.
Focused on Apps
What separates TrustGo from products like Kaspersky Mobile Security is that it is focused on apps. In the App Manager tab, you'll be presented with a list of popular apps that TrustGo has scanned and certified as safe to use. The My Apps sub tab will give you information on what's installed on your device, but is irritatingly not open by default.
From My Apps, you can uninstall an app in seconds, or report it to TrustGo for unusual behavior. The uninstall feature, while welcome, is simply a shortcut to the built-in uninstall feature in Android. The reporting feature is a bit odd since it requires users to do a bit of investigation on their own, but is certainly useful for TrustGo to keep informed about the app ecosystem.
From the Security screen, you can access Privacy Guard. This breaks down the permissions requested by apps into broad categories, giving you a bird's eye view of what kind of information your apps can access. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do with this knowledge. Tapping on an app in the list allows you to uninstall it, and also indicates whether the app has been certified by TrustGo.
