Viruses and malware can be a threat to your Android mobile using many different ways. Hackers could push viruses onto you via your network, send messages via email or SMS text or install apps in the Google Play Store that give dangerous permissions. Once you have the top antivirus software, your device should be safe. Like any security tool, you should monitor it to keep it safe from threats that could come in the future.
There are several Android antivirus scanners that help protect your phone against hackers and malware. Norton for instance, is the best choice, scoring the highest marks in tests conducted by independent labs and offering an excellent set of security features like a privacy score for all apps as well as a password manager and a Wi-Fi scanner. It also has an anti-theft feature that can locate your stolen phone and remotely activate its alarm or erase its data. Basic protection is free. However, you can pay per month or annually to get rid of ads and unlock additional features.
Avast is another option for securing your Android mobile. Its security features include password vaults and an app privacy scanner which evaluates all apps using the basis of how they safeguard your personal information and a photo vault, and it also blocks phishing websites. Its malware detection rate is top-notch as are its additional features like a junk-cleaner and an identity theft threat scanner.
