Hackers are targeting Android users in large numbers because of the rise of ransomware and crypto-mining attacks. Cybercriminals have taken millions of dollars, hacked identities and offered computing power for free in the past few years. Fortunately, antivirus software for Android can guard your devices from a variety of threats. Look for an application that is simple to set up, easy to use and comes with additional features such as tools for optimization of your system including anti-theft security, parental controls.
Avast Mobile Security is a well-known brand in the field of security on the internet. Its Android version has a full suite of protection with a free version and affordable subscription plans that offer complete protection for your mobile device/s, PC and laptop/tablet/computer. Its malware protection is superb with little impact on performance. It includes a call blocker, VPN and junk cleaner. It also comes with an image vault, WiFi network security, RAM booster, anti-theft and web security.
Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus offers absolute security for a reasonable cost. Its malware detection works well with a low battery drain. It also has the ability to block calls, Wear OS support, and other extras. The only drawback is that it’s not as user-friendly as many of its competitors. Additionally, it doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee.
AhnLab which is from South Korea, is another excellent option. It scored near-perfect in my hands-on and lab tests but it’s a bit less user-friendly interface. It’s not as active in social media or community forums as other apps listed on this list. According to AV Test and AV Comparatives it has high detection rates for Android malware.
