WOT Security: Your Proactive Shield for Web and Device Protection

WOT Security (Web of Trust) is a comprehensive mobile security application designed to proactively safeguard your digital life. It functions as an all-in-one protective layer, scanning your device for hidden threats and, more uniquely, vetting the internet itself before you interact with it. Users choose WOT Security to navigate the web with confidence, avoiding malicious websites, infected downloads, and unsafe Wi-Fi networks that could compromise their personal data and device integrity. WOT Security shifts security from a reactive cleanup tool to a proactive prevention system.

Real-Time Website Safety Ratings

The core function of WOT Security is its real-time website reputation check. As you browse the web or click on a search result, WOT Security instantly displays a colored rating (red, yellow, or green) next to each link. This rating is based on a vast community-driven database and expert analysis. You simply proceed with your normal browsing habits; the overlay works automatically. A green rating means you can proceed with confidence, while a red warning allows you to avoid the site entirely, preventing potential phishing scams or malware downloads before they even load.

On-Demand and Scheduled Device Scans

Beyond web protection, WOT Security offers robust antivirus capabilities for your device's internal storage. You initiate a scan by opening WOT Security and selecting the 'Scan' function. The tool then meticulously checks all installed applications, downloaded files, and system areas for known malware, spyware, and other threats. You can perform a quick scan for a surface-level check or a full, deeper scan for comprehensive coverage. Upon completion, WOT Security provides a detailed report and guides you to quarantine or delete any identified malicious files, ensuring your device remains clean.

Wi-Fi Network Security Analysis

Public Wi-Fi networks are a significant vulnerability. WOT Security addresses this by automatically analyzing the security of any network you attempt to join. When you enable Wi-Fi, WOT Security evaluates the network's encryption strength and checks if it has been associated with any security incidents. It alerts you if a network is unsecured or has a poor reputation. This allows you to make an informed decision—you can choose to avoid the network, use a VPN, or proceed with heightened caution, thus protecting your data from eavesdroppers on the same network.

Customizable Website Blacklisting

For personalized control, WOT Security includes a website blacklisting feature. This is ideal for parents wishing to block access to inappropriate content or for individuals aiming to boost productivity. You manage this by accessing WOT Security's settings and manually adding specific URLs to a block list. Once added, any attempt to visit those sites from your device will be automatically blocked by WOT Security, with a warning page appearing instead. This creates a customizable barrier against distracting or harmful content tailored to your specific needs.

Call Blocker and Privacy Protection

WOT Security extends its protection to your phone's core functions with a built-in call blocker. WOT Security scans incoming calls against a crowd-sourced database of known telemarketers, scammers, and spam numbers. When a suspicious call is detected, WOT Security identifies it on your screen and can automatically block it based on your preferences. You review your call log within WOT Security to see which numbers were blocked and why. This feature effectively filters out unwanted interruptions and protects you from potential phone-based fraud.

App Permission Monitoring and Management

This feature gives you visibility into what your installed apps are accessing. WOT Security audits all your applications and lists the permissions they require, such as access to your camera, microphone, or contacts. You can review this list to identify apps with excessive or unnecessary permissions that pose a privacy risk. The workflow involves scanning your apps, reviewing the report, and then using the information to manually revoke permissions through your device's settings. This empowers you to take control of your personal data and minimize your digital footprint.
