Mobile security threats are becoming more prevalent as the popularity of smartphones increases. But just as mobility is sweeping the world so is Android malware which is soaring in number every year. Trend Micro announced a partnership agreement with ASUS, under the terms of which ASUS will preload Trend Micro’s Dr. Safety app on the latest ASUS ZenFone 2smartphones to help protect users from account fraud, privacy risks, phishing, lost devices, and unwanted contact, plus a feature that recommends safe mobile games for users.

Dr. Safety features AV-TEST certified mobile security technology which according to an AV-TEST November 2014 evaluation detected 100% of a representative set of malicious apps over a four week period. It offers the best mobile security protection, seamless gaming experience, and a list of recommended games that have been tested for their security, allowing ASUS ZenFone 2users to enjoy a safe, easy, joyful, and seamless mobile security experience with an additional layer of protection.
