The 360 Security Lite app (4MB) is specially designed for phones with 1 gigabyte of memory or less.
Speaking at the India launch, Kevin Jones, CEO, 360 Security – India, said, “Among emerging markets, India occupies pride of place due to its large and growing market for mobile phones, which is still not fully penetrated in some regions.

It also has a WhatsApp Small Video Cache Cleaner, whereby cached files from WhatsApp small videos that pile up over time can be cleaned with just one tap.
Elaborating on the product benefits, Kevin Jones said, “As the culture of online shopping and mobile payments gains global traction, consumers are concerned about their devices being hacked or security being compromised in other ways. More downloads and higher online usage also impacts the memory and battery capacity of devices. Keeping these concerns in mind, 360 Security offers consumers an all-in-one utility for virus protection, memory optimization and power saving.”

During the past year, 360 Security has been garnering global attention after it successfully blocked the ‘Trojan Horse’ malware prevalent in Korea. ‘Trojan Horse’ had caused tremendous damage by stealing information via malignant links and watching users’ call logs, list of installed applications and locations. Based upon analysis of usage behaviour, 360 Security blocked mobile banking-related viruses, boosting the credibility of its Anti-Virus function. Its global credibility was enhanced after 360 Security announced a recent global malware code pattern analysis for the first half of 2015. According to its analysis, there were around 376,200 patterns of malignant codes that threatened Android Smartphones, with Smishing comprising 92.5% of the total confirmed malware.
