Android phones are a popular target for hackers. Malware can be running in the background, steal personal data and slow down devices. Antivirus applications help safeguard devices by detecting and stopping malicious attacks. Many of the best anti-virus apps also detect websites that are phishing as well as other web security threats, and provide a range of additional features to improve your mobile privacy.
The majority of Android antivirus applications are free, but some cost extra for features or premium tiers. These cost between $15 and $30 per year. Some premium tiers provide features like an VPN and identity theft protection as an additional charge. Some apps, such as Lookout, do not submit to third-party laboratory evaluations and come with a fast slow-moving scan engine that can impede the performance of your phone.
Kaspersky offers two versions of its antivirus program that are free and a professional version that costs $29.99 per year or $39 for three years. The free version includes blocking of calls and SMS and scans, virus update and anti-theft capabilities. the pro version has a stronger set of antivirus features, including device scanning, antimalware protection, and an app lock.
Norton has the top overall malware detection rate in our tests. Its mobile-specific suite comes with a range of security features to help ensure your privacy on mobile and desktop devices. Its advanced features include the ability to scan networks for Wi-Fi, a VPN as well as a dark web monitoring service that will alert you of data breaches. Norton Mobile Security’s free tier is now replaced by an additional app, Norton 360 Deluxe. It includes a generous 30 day trial.
