This month I want to recommend two smartphone apps that run the gamut from silly to serious.  The first is Pumpkin Carving Ideas<\/a>, a free app that provides images and templates to help you master the art of pumpkin carving. You\u2019ll be able to greet your treat-or-treaters in style. The second is serious and addresses a smartphone problem that\u2019s more frightening than a Freddy Kruger mask. I\u2019m talking about viruses and other harmful smartphone invaders. AVG AntiVirus Security<\/a> is a free app that can help protect your smartphone from viruses, malware and spyware, as well as from unwanted calls and from theft!<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Carving Ideas:<\/strong> Available on Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/a>Forget about getting your groove on. That\u2019s so 80s. Instead, you and your family can get your pumpkin on. This month is Halloween and it\u2019s one of my favorite times of the year to get together with relatives for fun and games: Costume parties, scary movies, bowls of candy, and so on. I\u2019m also talking about carving pumpkins\u2014and it\u2019s easier than you think. Thanks to a free Android app that will show you a range of carving ideas, as well as pictures of patterns. So dust off your carving knife and get ready to create a masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Best of all, you and your family won\u2019t need any experience to try your hand at pumpkin carving. This application can help you start and finish the job. Just pick your favorite designs and carve away. You might even want to hold your own family pumpkin carving contest! Choose from a range of templates including simple, cool, funny, scary, animals, butterflies, spiders, even a wolf and, of course, your basic Jack O’ Lantern. You can easily save and share pictures, as well as use the pictures you like most as wallpaper.<\/p>\n

This is one app your entire family can enjoy. It\u2019s fun. It\u2019s seasonal. And it\u2019s free. Your kids and grandkids will love it. As I like to say this time of year: Easy peasy, pumpkin squeezy.<\/p>\n

AVG AntiVirus Security: <\/strong>Available on Android<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"AntiVirus<\/a>Your smartphone might not be your castle, but it houses a lot of valuable personal information. Certainly, you can protect it from spills and splashes with our Protection Plans<\/a>, but that guards your phone from physical damage. You also need to protect it from invasive viruses and malicious software, as well as from obnoxious callers and telemarketers. And now you can by simply downloading the free AVG AntiVirus Security Android app.<\/p>\n

This app gives you effective, easy-to-use virus and malware protection, as well as a real-time app scanner, phone locator, task killer, app locker, and local device wipe to help shield you from threats to your privacy and online identity.
