Given the continued growth of Android malware, it has become essential to run anti-virus software on mobile devices, but it is also possible to keep smartphones safe by following simple practices such as installing applications only from trusted sources. However, for those who want to install third-party antivirus software on their Android device, choosing the most effective application is more difficult than you think, which is why AV-TEST selected the best anti-virus software for the Android platform.
The anti-virus testing agency has launched a new study to determine Android’s best anti-virus software, the results are not surprising. Not less than nine security products top rated, including applications from Symantec, Tencent, AVG, Trend Micro, and Sophos. All of these applications receive six-point protection and six-point availability, some of which are accompanied by further security features that provide additional security.
The AV-TEST test results show that applications including Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and McAfee performed exceptionally well in the latest round of testing, although they did not score as well on actual tests. For example, Kaspersky achieved 99.6% detection rate, Bitdefender’s test score slightly higher than 99.7%.
It’s slightly surprising that the Google Play Protection feature, available on Android devices to protect your device from malware attacks in applications downloaded from the Google Play Store, scores pretty poorly, with tests that are actually tested The rate is only 62.9%.
Interestingly, AV-TEST said that the industry average of 97.8% of real-time detection of the latest Android malware means that most security solutions provide advanced protection against known and new threats.
