Avast Mobile Security, AVG AntiVirus Free and other effective protection tools according to AV-TEST.
AV ‑ TEST is a highly respected German antivirus laboratory dedicated to finding and analyzing malicious software. They are also testing existing detection and protection tools across multiple platforms, including Android.
The Android antivirus rating includes three key parameters:
- Protection - the ability to effectively detect threats.
- Performance - the impact of antivirus on the speed of a smartphone.
- Usability - Impact on the usability of a mobile device.
The life hacker selected 10 antiviruses that received the highest rating for these parameters.
They are all equal in speed. Antiviruses do not negatively affect battery life, traffic consumption and mobile device speed. There are no false positives when using safe apps from Google Play and third-party sources.
Antiviruses differ only in their ability to detect threats and additional functions.
Please note that the AV ‑ TEST laboratory uses the default settings in the application for testing. When choosing one or another antivirus, the user receives a level of protection and usability corresponding to the rating immediately after installation, that is, without studying the parameters or changing them in any way.
