Link Scanner
Strengthen your Android security with Link Scanner, an extra layer that checks every link you open to block potential phishing attacks.
Learn More
This feature enhances ESET Mobile Security's Anti-Phishing capabilities, which generally block potential phishing attacks from websites or domains listed in the ESET malware database. Link Scanner adds an additional layer of protection for Android smartphone users by allowing ESET Mobile Security to check every link you try to open—not just those from supported websites and social network apps.
For instance, if you receive a phishing link in a game app and open it, the link is first redirected to the ESET Mobile Security app for screening before it goes to your browser. If you're using an unsupported browser, Link Scanner will block the malicious link, providing comprehensive protection against phishing threats.
