About Mobile Security & Protection

Keep your phone clean and boost your phone protection with Web of Trust, free android protection and security app that compliments your antivirus app. Receive warning against virus, Trojan, spyware and other malware attacks that pose a threat to your mobile phone.

Why is Web of Trust (MyWOT) a MUST-HAVE app?

• Web of Trust is a master of Android phone protection, powered by a community of 140+ million users that rate and review sites, ensuring your browsing is clean & secure.
• Machine learning algorithms support the community’s ratings, offering another layer of protection and security for your android phone.
• Websites hosting types of malware and spyware, including viruses, Trojans, and invasive ads are identified and blocked via a warning window, minimizing the chance of a virus reaching your mobile device.
• Want to control your protection experience? You can adjust your mobile security level according to your preferences.

Web of Trust Protects you from:

• Malware, Spyware & Viruses
Complementing antivirus apps, Web of Trust helps you avoid visiting websites that host malicious software, like viruses, spyware, and adware that can steal your information.

• Phishing
Sites with malicious links in phishing emails, websites and text messages, designed to fool you into giving away personal information or install a virus on your Android, are blocked with a warning.

• Scams
Up-to-date users ratings warn you when you visit a site that may host any type of fraud designed to steal money or personal information.

What’s the difference between Web of Trust and antivirus apps?

Antivirus apps usually wait till a virus has already infected your Android phone, and only then proceed to clean your phone. Web of Trust offers protection even before the virus and other malware reaches your device. You can inspect sites from within the app, or rely on the warning blocker for suspicious sites. Another important difference is that most antivirus apps usually provide a free limited version with paid features. Web of Trust is free and without ads. Last, but not least, Web of Trust is supported by a community of real people, constantly monitoring sites they visit for signs of malicious behavior, ensuring their, and your browsing experience is secure and clean.

Highlights of WOT:

• Fast and free app for mobile internet security (doesn’t slow your browser)
• Seamless integration with Chrome and all native Android browsers
• Blocker is fully customized

How does Web of Trust for Android work?

• Know which websites to trust:
Web of Trust tells you which websites you can trust based on other users' experiences. By collecting and calculating website reputations, it warns against online threats.

• Added a layer of secure browsing:
Web of Trust complements antivirus and malware security by adding a layer of protection only the human eye can spot. Web of Trust is powered by a multi-million strong community that rates websites according to safety, user experience and trustworthiness. Ratings are used to calculate a website’s reputation score. If the score is low, you will be alerted as to the reasons.

• Color, Score & Confidence:
Website trustworthiness is marked by color (red, orange and green), by score (out of 100%) and by rating confidence (out of 5).

• Become a Security Master:
Create your own clean lists of sites by rating all visited sites and giving them your trust score.

• Instructions:
• Once app is installed, customize your security settings
• You can use the search within the app to identify the trust level of any site
• When browsing through your mobile browser you will receive a warning when reaching a site that has low trust ratings

What are users saying about Mobile Security & Protection

by S####:

You can't login to the website acct so you have to completely start over with your reviews. You also cannot give a thumbs up or down on the reviews of others. It asks if you want to open links here instead of Firefox, which was my default browser before I installed this.

S70%
by S####:

No integration with Chrome (AFAICT). UPDATE: Version 2.0.2 works well with links from other apps (e.g. Facebook) in Android 6.0. Well done! UPDATE #2: Causes LastPass to crash. Uninstalled.

H70%
by H####:

Does not provide website ratings like the desktop version does. You can search for a website from the WOT app to get a rating, but that is a cumbersome extra step.

S70%
by S####:

Instead, every URL I open now asks which app I want to open it with. Before installing this app, it defaulted to Chrome or a bespoke app.

S70%
by S####:

Be cautious with this app, both google and Firefox banned it from its addons list because of its privacy hack on users accounts (imagine what it's made for but in reverse). Won't say the app does the say, but why wouldn't it?

N70%
by N####:

I can't see a big benefit to using this because it won't show me safety results when searching from any browser on my phone. It's just not the same as it is on a computer.

Remove this as soon as possible! It was recently discovered by a German news company that they sold personal information to third parties.

by S####:

Interesting way of making a mobile version. Denies apps like YouTube and Twitter from opening links.

B70%
by B####:

Not really a practical implementation! This 4 stars is just because I love the desktop addon

Well, this extension super duper goddamn pop pillar for selling super duper privacy related detailed information to advertisers.

Mike, moto e running 5.1 I've used wot as an extension in my browser's for a long time, i really like the at a glance feedback it gives with its green circles, very useful. This app doesn't work in the same way, that's a shame, I would prefer it to show the reassuring green circle in my browser. Other than that small gripe, this is fine. Although it doesn't look like it, it is working in the background. If you go to a dodgy site in your browser (I use Chrome), this app puts up a message warning you of the possible problems. Unfortunately, that happens after you arrive on the dodgy site's home page.

Allows web surfers to receive overall reputable ratings of the sites visited. Users can also rate and leave personal comments about their otherwise negative encouters w/ suspicious websites.

Please support Yandex browser, it's based on Chromium just like Google Chrome. Yandex also supports third party content blocking like Adguard and the desktop version of it has WOT as a default extension. Edit: I don't use Google Chrome, sorry.

I personally do NOT want to use any browser unless WOT is installed on it. Through the years.. I have come to love this little protector more and more. Do a GOOD thing..and install it on all of your browsers.

It does not work with a browsers stock browser and chrome... and you must add new features such as an scanning the Mobile and add built in wot browser

by S####:

Uses 50 MB of RAM and that is when I am not even using a browser. Far too much to be acceptable. Developer should test this app before releaing.

Rated application that can really warn us from dangerous websites. Have installed this one to almost all my browsers in my PC. Thank you WOT

By default it doesn't block red websites. We still have to make our own blacklist/whitelist.

Shameful.

WOT tracks your browsing history and sells it to other companies - check their privacy policy.

An app that identifies malicious sites before you load them? Brilliant!

I removed it due to a report that says WOT is selling our histories and potential credentials for banking sites.
