The Best Android Anti-Virus Apps

With Malware and cyber threats on the rise, now is not the time to become lackadaisical with your phone security. While many people place a lot of importance on protecting their home internet, they quickly forget about the devices they’re using the most. So, whether you buy Samsung or buy Huawei, or any other android device, here’s how you can keep your phone protected.  

The Real Risk Factor 

So, you may be thinking who is really going to try and hack into my phone? On average it can take hackers only 4 minutes to hack into your home internet, and it’s seems it can take them even quicker on our mobile phones as we tend to be a little more callous.   

It’s estimated that over 55 000 devices are comprised by ransomware globally each month. Plus, hackers are getting smarter and smarter with how they are accessing our information.  

We do so much on our mobile phones from social interactions, to work, banking, shopping and so much more. That means, our mobiles are storing quite a bit of sensitive information that you should be protecting.  

A good anti-virus software will protect your phone from multiple cyber-threats and keep your sensitive information protected.  

The Best Anti-Virus Apps 

You can find a large variety of free and paid apps that can help protect your phone and it’s not dependent on whether you buy Samsung or buy Huawei or any other device which functions with an android operating system.  

Here’s our top 3 picks:  

Bitdefender Mobile Security 

This is an amazing (but paid for) app that offers excellent antivirus protection and anti-theft capabilities. While it does require an active internet connection, it does come with a very clever smartwatch tie in.  

Plus, it comes with handy privacy advisor tool that helps you get that added layer of protection.  

Norton Mobile Security 

This software offers a wealth of features beyond anti-theft and anti-virus capabilities. It’s got a comprehensive app checker and regularly scans for any kind of malware or cyber threat on your device. 

Our favourite feature is perhaps the blocking protection against spam phone calls, which can become such a nuisance. While it is a little pricey, the investment will be well worth it.  

Avast Mobile Security 

Avast is a well-known cyber security provider. It has a multitude of features and phone performance boosting capabilities. It’s anti-theft features offer remote tracking and locking features in the case of theft.  

What makes this app so is great is that you can get it for free, with the option to upgrade should you want to.  

Whichever app you choose, now is the time to make sure your mobile device is properly protected.
