Version 3.0 brings improved protection against unauthorized access to the Android smartphone's microphone and web camera as well as the new Deep Detective Live antispyware scanner.
Camera Guard 3 and Micro Guard 3 sits quietly in the background, monitoring the Android's built-in microphone and webcam for any unauthorized access attempts. The two apps efficiently block any detected attempts, while also alerting the user to the attempts. The utilities block both known and unknown attacks methods, thanks to its exclusive "Deep Detective" feature, which monitors all attempted access to any protected Android smartphone or tablet. While offering proactive protection that is similar to other companies' firewall or intrusion detection utilities, Deep Detective also reports and protects against both known and unknown attacks, via its modern heuristic methods.
The new upgrade of both apps offer numerous new features, including improved access detection, and a whitelist for allowed apps and processes, as well as the new integrated Deep Detective Live feature that acts as an anti-spyware scanner to detect latest spyware apps on Android devices.
"When we discovered that illegal monitoring of Android users via their built-in microphones and cameras was on the rise, we created Camera Guard and Micro Guard in 2016, which offered complete protection against unauthorized access of your Androids's web camera and mic," says Chris Bohn, CEO of ProtectStar.
