This existing but under-reported behaviour is not inherent to the architecture of Android smartphones and tablets.
"Only Google has the power to use it [the 'kill switch'], as far as we know, but in past they only focused on disabling malicious apps which made it into the Google Play store. It looks like that they don't really care about any third party marketplaces, but leave this field to the AV [antivirus] companies."

Once downloaded and installed on the device, it will run as a file browser and allow us to select which folders and files we want to protect with password.---
