Best Anti-Virus Software for Android

[Ro Klei]

Hi, have just posted elsewhere on this subject...
Dr.Web light works for me... Did a general search on the net about this when first moving to android and it was claimed that some of the popular ones, ie:- pc ones, avast, lookout, avg..etc..weren't that effective for droid seeing as they are primarily used for windows pc's and converted somehow... I don't know, I don't know much about anything really but somewhere Dr. Web light and Zoner were recommended for android devices...don't use Zoner anymore, as it said something was clean and yet Dr.Web light went nuts...

I've been trying malware bytes for a few weeks and am liking it so far. Does anyone else have feed back on it? I love their pc product.

Malware Bytes has always been my go to for years for detection & removal. I had someone piggy backing my network connection and a trojan. I kept scanning with Avast, Kapersky, AVG, Norton, etc. with no results until I ran Malwear Bytes. It's not so good for real time detection, but it will remove or quarentine a threat before irreversible damage.
Evem when I was stuck with the dreaded blue screen, I was able to use Malware Bytes in safe mode to save my system. I can't say enough positive things about it, I love its dependability.

How do you do you get safe mode on an android OS?

I've got clean master and avast on my LG G2, but avast seems to be draining my battery, i dont know so much about clean master, I just press buttons (new Android user) so I'm wondering if there is a anti virus and optimizer all in one that does what it needs to do automatically? And doesn't kill my battery?

Malware bytes is a great malware program, but not alone, add avast or clean master to your tablet, right now I have both avast and clean master, but I want to just use one, I'm leaning towards clean master, avast uses to many resources

I really like the Norton mobile security app.

Avast for me, works like a charm

I Use AVG, I think any of them are good as long as you have something.

Avg is the best by far. Plus it even checks the web for mailware and also spyware
