The Best Mobile Antivirus
The most effective mobile antivirus will provide top-of-the-line security against malware with minimal impact on performance. It should have an intuitive and simple interface, and also include additional features like anti-theft tools or an app lock. It should also not be overly expensive, especially because Android users can download apps from many sources, unlike Apple devices that require strict App Store approvals.
Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus (now called Kaspersky Security and Antivirus) scored perfect marks in independent tests and has a simple and simple interface. Its free version doesn’t have ads and does not push you to upgrade, though it does require a reliable internet connection. A paid plan comes with call blocking, Android Wear support and a strong set of anti-theft features. It’s missing some features that include a Wi -Fi scanner and privacy tools.
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is one of the most powerful and feature-rich apps available with malware protection. It was top-of-the-line in our independent tests. It has a simple and easy-to-use interface. Its alerts are simple, bold and precise. It requires a reliable internet connection to detect malware, and it’s susceptible to false positives.
Lookout Mobile Security, now known as Lookout Security and Antivirus or Lookout Personal, was one of the first antivirus apps for Android. It is still a popular choice for its sleek interface, identity security and no-nonsense subscription pricing. Its free tier includes call and SMS blocking and device scanning and anti-theft. The premium version offers real-time protection as well as a secure browser.
