The sixth version of ESET’s ‘Mobile Security’ suite for Android devices has just landed, and it brings an exciting new feature called “Payment Protection.” As the name suggests, this system is meant to help Android users perform secure payments using their smartphones and to lock out any banking trojans and nasty malware strains that may be lurking undetected.

On the Android space, we’ve seen numerous banking trojans like “Ginp,” “EventBot,” and “Cerberus,” which are all trying to steal the user’s banking credentials, card data, PayPal account password, etc.
One trick these apps use is to detect when the user attempts to launch the legitimate payment or banking app, and then lay a login phishing page on top of it.

ESET’s “Payment Protection” automatically identifies all applications that fall into the “Finance” category and places them behind a secure execution wall. Of course, users can add applications manually onto this “safe space.”

To launch any of these apps, the user has to open “Payment Protection” and do it from within the tool. This ensures that other apps on the device, like undetected malware, for example, won’t be able to recognize this launch, and thus, it won’t get the change to overlay any phishing pages or push fake messages.

Unfortunately, this feature is only available for the paid (Premium) version of the ESET Mobile Security 6, which also includes a proactive anti-theft system, home monitor integration, anti-phishing, app lock, and scheduled scanning. If you opt for the free version, you’ll still get a fully-featured antivirus engine with real-time scanning, activity logs, and the ability to lock the device remotely.
