Description

Give yourself and your beloved iPhone a fighting chance:
• Anti-theft tools (phone locator + trigger siren)
• Protection from phishing websites
• Identity Safeguard (alerts you if your email was leaked)
• Smart reporting tools
• And much more!
Anti-Theft for your iPhone. It deserves it, and so do you.
Our Anti-theft tool formerly known as the Avira antivirus app helps you locate a missing device (up to 5 connected devices, actually). Or, if it’s hiding under the couch, trigger a loud yell from Avira Connect – your online dashboard.
Phishing websites target you personally
Your photos, emails, and contacts are on your phone. Avira Mobile Security is one of the few apps that helps you keep them safe: our integrated Web Protection feature tells you if a website is trying to steal confidential details, such as your credit card details, emails, and passwords.
Has your email been leaked?
Schedule the frequency (once a day/week/month), and we’ll automatically scan your email – and those of your contacts, to check whether they were leaked online in a security breach.
Know what’s going on
Your app’s Activity Report gives you a quick overview of the latest security events that affect you. This includes phishing websites that were encountered, recent scans, emails in your contact list that have been leaked in a security breach… and more!
A look into your phone’s memory
Our integrated Device Analyser breaks down your phone’s memory and storage usage for you. It’s a handy tool that helps you target where you need to free up space on your phone, or determine that it’s time to get more iCloud storage space!
Your iPhone’s a looker. Now your security app is, too.
Our interface’s new look gives you easier access to all your features.
A full-featured security app that's got your back!

Help

When I try to log in it says that there's an error and to try again later but if I try again later the same thing happens. So how do I possibly fix this and if I can't will you do it brcause there was someone with the same issue. Also any kind of logging in like Facebook Google and the manual log in all say that there was an error and to try again later.

Not What I Expected

Even with the paid Pro version Avira uses and requires Google 'services' as part of protecting you so if you don't mind being incessantly spied on by Google while being 'protected' then go for it. Personally, I want to be protected FROM Google and other bottom-dwelling data miners rather than being in bed with the biggest of them all. This is a dealbreaker for me.
My only other gripe would be that in the limited time I used this app it appears there is but one color scheme and that is black text on bright white background. I have some light sensitivity vision issues and to me it is almost like looking at a flashlight. I thought we were beyond one-size-fits-all here in 2019. Developers should offer at least a dark theme in this day and age.

Great app, however...

This is a great app, however there are some issues that need to be addressed! 1) the application should become more intuitive into detecting when you have completed a tasks. So far that is the only issue that I have come across, I will continue to utilize the app and if I find any more issues and or concerns, I will write another review.

Developer Response,

That is so good news for us 😍 Thank you for sharing your experience with us and pls don't forget that we're always here for you.

Antivirus Android apps remain one of the most popular types of applications on Android. Generally, you don’t need an antivirus app if you play it safe, only download apps from the Play Store, and keep your security settings enabled. However, there are those who like to take a walk on the wild side and not do those things. There are a ton of really bad antivirus apps out there. Even if these apps aren’t necessary, it’s good to know the safe ones that don’t suck. Here are the best antivirus apps and anti-malware apps for Android. All prices are current as of January 2018. You can also check out the best antivirus apps on other platforms on our sister site DGiT by clicking here!

One final thing to note that a lot of antivirus apps on Android do literally nothing or a very bad job. Here’s a study that AV-Comparatives conducted with additional information about what antivirus apps are good and the ones that aren’t.

360 Security

Price: Free / $5.49 per year

360 Security is a bit of a mixed bag. Some of its security stuff isn’t half bad and then the other half is quite bad. The app scans your apps for potential malware activity, although its find rate is a little bit higher than we’re willing to believe. Facebook is bad and all, but it’s not malware yet. In any case, this is a decent, super basic antivirus app that will do the scans and show you potential vulnerabilities. The trick is to uninstall the app yourself instead of enabling every little (usually snake oil) feature the app wants to enable on its own. There are some booster features, but we recommend ignoring those. Once you decline most of the app services, this one functions as a good, lightweight scanner and storage cleaner. You can remove ads for $5.49 per year.

Avira

Price: Free / $11.99 per year

Avira is one of the newer antivirus apps comparatively speaking. It grew rather quickly over the last year. The app comes with the basics, including device scans, real-time protection, external SD card scans, and a lot more. Some other features include anti-theft support, privacy scanning, blacklisting, and even device admin features. It’s much lighter than apps like Norton and others. It’s also relatively inexpensive and there is a free version. We also highly recommend its Stagefright Advisor tool.

Avast Antivirus

Price: Free / $2.99 per month / $11.99 per year

Avast Mobile Security is one of the most popular antivirus apps on any platform. It boasts over 100 million downloads and tons of features. Some of the features include the classic antivirus scanning, an applock, call blocker, anti-theft support, a photo vault, and even a firewall for rooted Android devices. It also includes booster features, but we don’t recommend those. They do more harm than good and they can really mess things up with your phone. Avast’s subscription prices aren’t bad comparatively speaking. The app comes with a 14-day free trial to demo the product.

AVG Antivirus 2019

Price: Free / $2.99 per month / $11.99 per year

AVG is another big name in the antivirus apps space. In fact, it’s basically the same as AVAST. AVAST actually purchased AVG back in 2016. Thus, the experience is similar in both antivirus apps. This one does offer a few differences. The app has anti-theft tracking via Google Maps, but it also doesn’t have the rooted firewall availability. Like AVAST, there are a swath of pointless battery, memory, and phone boosting features that don’t actually work. Otherwise, it’s not a bad antivirus. Like AVAST, this one goes for $2.99 per month, $11.99 per year, and contains a 14-day free trial.

Bitdefender Free Antivirus

Price: Free

Bitdefender Antivirus is one of the few actually free antivirus apps. It hasn’t changed much over the years. It offers a basic scanning feature, a simple interface, quick performance, and no configuration. This is a great one for super basic needs. All it really does is scan stuff and then sit there and wait to scan stuff again. There is a larger, more in-depth Bitdefender app. However, we think this one is better for those who just want something simple. It’s also actually free with no in-app purchases or subscriptions. There is advertising, though.

Dr. Web Security Space

Price: Free / $7.99 per year / $15.99 per 2 years / $74.99 lifetime

Dr Web is one of the older antivirus apps and anti-malware apps. It has a decent set of features, including quick and full scans, protection from ransomware, a quarantine space, and even stats. Along with that, it has good anti-theft features, call and SMS filtering, URL filtering, parental controls, a firewall, and more. It’s also fairly inexpensive. It goes for $7.99-$15.99 for one to two years. There is also a lifetime license for $74.99. The lifetime license is a tad pricey. However, it does mean you only pay once.

ESET Mobile Security and Antivirus

Price: Free / $1.99 per month / $14.99 per year

ESET is another big name in the antivirus and anti-malware world. It has a decent set of features, including scans, anti-theft support, a security auditor feature, scan scheduling, and more. The setup process is a bit intrusive. It’s one of the few that require an email address. Otherwise, it works pretty well. You get a free one month trial upon installation. From there, it goes for $1.99 per month or $14.99 per year. It’s not quite has heavy as something as AVAST or AVG, but it is heavier than CM Security Lite or Bitdefender. Take that info for what it’s worth.

Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus

Price: Free / $14.95 per year

Kaspersky is one of the most popular antivirus apps. It has both a free and pro version. Both versions offer SMS and call blocking, scans, virus updates, and anti-theft. The premium version adds things like real-time protection, an applock, and more. Of course, both versions have device scanning for malware and stuff like that. It isn’t nearly as heavy as the biggest antivirus apps. Plus, it doesn’t have any nasty booster features that don’t work. It’s nice to see an antivirus app that doubles down on its purpose instead of trying to stretch out to stuff that doesn’t make sense. That makes it a decent middle-of-the-road option for a lot of folks. The premium version goes for $14.95 per year.

Lookout Security & Antivirus

Price: Free / $2.99 per month / $29.99 per year

Lookout is another popular antivirus and anti-malware app. It comes pre-installed on many devices, especially on carriers like T-Mobile. It does the basics fairly well. That includes scans, phishing protection, malware protection, anti-theft features, and more. It also comes with some unique stuff like identity protection, identity insurance, and WiFi scanning. That gives it a bit of a different perspective than most antivirus apps. It goes for $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year. It’s reasonably good for an antivirus or anti-malware app.

Malwarebytes Security

Price: Free / $1.49 per month / $11.99 per year

Malwarebytes is one of the most popular antivirus apps on Windows. The mobile version is pretty good too. It features an aggressively updated virus database, support for malware and ransomware, a permission tracker, and more. It can even scan messages in WhatsApp, Facebook, SMS, etc for potentially dangerous links. Of course, it does the usual stuff like scanning as well. The app looks nice, works well, and it’s not too heavy like others. It’s also reasonably priced at $1.49 per month or $11.99 per year.

McAfee Mobile Security

Price: Free / $2.99 per month / $29.99 per year

McAfee is one of the biggest names in antivirus apps. It’s also one of the heaviest. The app includes scanning, anti-theft, anti-spyware, and security locking features. Additionally, it can take photos of your potential phone thief, record locations to the cloud before the phone shuts down, and more useful stuff. McAfee also has a variety of standalone apps for other things. The UI is old and it doesn’t look very good. Additionally, it has boost features that don’t work and it requires an account creation to go pro. The antivirus portion of the app does work rather well and some of the tertiary features are nice. However, it’s still one of the weaker options in our top 15.

Norton Mobile Security

Price: Free / $14.99-$39.99 per year

Free Mobile Antivirus App

Norton Security has its ups and downs. Just imagine how much worse it gets if we put this one here. The app has a lot of the basic features though, including protection from malware, spyware, and other bad stuff. Additional features include saving device location when the battery is low, real-time protection, anti-theft features, and more. It’s one of the pricier options in antivirus apps. However, it does have a suite available for $39.99 per year that covers your mobile device as well as your computer. Norton also has other apps, like a dedicated applock app, that are actually not half bad.

Sophos Mobile Security

Price: Free

Mobile Antivirus Avira

Sophos is one of our favorite antivirus and anti-malware apps for Android. It includes all of the basic stuff such as malware protection, a virus scanner, web filtering, app protections, theft protection, Wi-Fi security, and all kinds of other stuff. It does all of this for free, without advertising, and it doesn’t include any garbage booster functions that don’t actually work. Its password safe function is KeePass compatible and it even comes with an authenticator function for multi-factor authentication. We don’t outwardly recommend antivirus apps to anybody, but if you’re going to have one, try this one first.

Webroot Mobile Security

Price: Free / Up to $79.99 per year

Webroot is another excellent and simple antivirus app. You get the basics such as device scanning, protection from malware, and real-time device monitoring. Additionally, it comes with a built-in call and text blocker should you need one. All of that stuff comes with the free version. Those who go pro get anti-theft features, remote phone wiping (if needed), a SIM card lock, and a battery and network monitor. It doesn’t seem like a long list of features, but it feels like Webroot took away a lot of the bloat in favor of a fast and functional experience. The Android subscription is much cheaper than the PC variant, but you can get both for up to $79.99 per year (often on sale for $59.99 per year).

Google Play Protect

Price: Included with Android

Google Play Protect is Android’s antivirus app. It scans the apps on your device and then compares them to the Google Play versions of that app. It lets you know if the two aren’t the same. This combined with the existing protection in Google Play creates a really good barrier of security. Plus, it’s free, it’s probably already on your device, and you don’t have to do anything to use it. This along with common sense work better and are better for your device than basically any antivirus app, no matter what company makes it. It’ll also save valuable resources with one fewer app running in the background. We recommend this one first. Hit the button above for more information!
