SEPARATE ‘SAFE BROWSER’ ICON IN LAUNCHER
Safe browsing works only when you are browsing the Internet with Safe Browser. To easily allow you to set Safe Browser as default browser, we install this as an additional icon in the launcher. This also helps a child launch the Safe Browser more intuitively.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
Is the F-Secure Mobile Security APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b64413016b385b4d7ef5f988daacac4c.
