AVG CrossGuard

The app helps protect your device against privacy threats such as data leakage, online tracking and unsecure apps. The app runs in the background 24/7 and automatically flags any suspicious behavior such as:

=> apps that send data unencrypted over Wi-Fi networks
=> phone settings that might enable others to track you
=> online trackers that follow track as you move from app to app
=> online trackers that track your mobile browsing activity

And with every alert, CrossGuard suggest a way to fix the issue.

How does CrossGuard work?

CrossGuard inspects your phone’s incoming and outgoing traffic. The app doesn’t look at the contents but at the type of information. Any suspicious behavior is reported instantly trough a notification and a possible solution for the issue is provided.

The app also scans the settings of your phone, flagging anything that might leak out your personal data.

As we mentioned above, the app is currently in beta but we are already working on the next release. If you find any bugs or have any feature requests please send us an email at support.innovation [@] avg.com or tweet us @avginnovation.
