To help consumers understand online risks and practice safe behaviors, Webroot security experts recommend the following:

- Phone home safely - Mobile malware is on the rise, especially on Android devices, so take a moment to swing by the marketplace or app store to install a mobile security application that will safeguard your device against attacks.
