Need antivirus protection on your other devices?
Check outthese free Windows antivirus programs!
Easy for anyone to use.
Large ads for their other products.
Not as customizable as most AV apps.
I recommend using this app if you don’t like to mess around with tons of prefs.
The only drawback I want to comment on is when I compare it to their not-freeMobile Security app.
This app can run on Android 5 and up.
Malwarebytes Mobile Security
Includes an ‘allow list’ for false positives.
Can perform a security audit.
Automatic scans aren’t free.
Paid features appear free until you give a shot to use them.
Although it’s severely limited compared to its premium version, it still detects and removes viruses for free.
A little heads-up, though: A lot of what you see in the app is not free.
There’s a free 30-day trial of premium if you want to try it out.
you better have Android 9 or newer to use this app.
Avira Security Antivirus
Includes adware, PUA, and anti-theft protection.
Can scan files on a schedule.
Start a scan quickly via a shortcut.
Not everything you see is free to use.
Every screen advertises the paid edition.
Doesn’t block malicious sites.
Packed with other tools you might not want.
and will have the option to ignore them or delete them on the spot.
Yes, there’s a lot in this app!
Still, I think they’re all very useful features.
The app works on Android 6 and up.
AVG AntiVirus Free
Clearly marks which features are free and which are not.
Lets you choose which folders to scan.
Scans for a variety of threats.
No automatic file or app scanning.
Includes other unrelated tools.
This was the very first antivirus app on Google Play that reached 100 million downloads.
But I don’t recommend it for that reason.
It protects you from spyware, unsafe apps and tweaks, viruses, and other malware and threats.
This app also protects you while browsing the internet in Chrome.
It’s also annoying when AVG finds risks that aren’t actually malicious.
This app runs on Android 8 and up.
