Today's Quick Tip....
Protect your Android device from malware with Malwarebytes
If you have a Windows PC you probably know that Malwarebytes is one of the best apps around for keeping viruses and other types of malware off of your machine.
But did you know you can install Malwarebytes on your Android phone or tablet as well, at no charge?
You can, and it it works like a charm.
Just visit the Play Store and search for Malwarebytes for Android. It'll pop right up.
Note: When you install Malwarebytes for Android it will install a 30 day trial version of the 'paid' Malwarebytes app. But don't worry, after the trial period expires the trial version will automatically revert to the free version.
