The term phishing describes a criminal activity that uses the manipulation of users to gain access to sensitive data such as bank account numbers, credit card numbers, PIN numbers or usernames and passwords.
We recommend that you enable Anti-Phishing for maximum protection against potential phishing attacks. After you have completed the installation of ESET Mobile Security or ESET Endpoint Security for Android, you must enable accessibility permissions for ESET in order to enable the full functionality of the Anti-Phishing module for all internet browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Opera Mini).
Anti-Phishing integrates with the most common web browsers available on Android OS. Other browsers may be listed as Unprotected since they do not provide sufficient integration for Anti-Phishing. We recommend that you do not use unsupported web browsers to fully utilize the Anti-Phishing feature.
Follow the steps below to enable accessibility permissions and enable Anti-Phishing.
- Open ESET Mobile Security for Android.
- Tap Anti-Phishing.
