![]() ![]() You can change your votes at any time before that. This poll will automatically close one day into 2022.Each vote remains public so others can see what you have voted for.Up to three votes because some people have separate personal and work phones or use more than one AV scanner.Some publishers are difficult to check because they only have an email contact and no website.They can be almost exactly the same or they can be quite different so different apps from the same publisher can be much less effective. Many publishers have more than one app.I’d suggest that you check out the lowest (1-star on Google Play) ratings for the apps and you’ll see that they tend to relate to install and subscriptions problems for the major publishers whereas issues with incomplete or limited scanning tend to show up for less reliable scanners. Some are paying for an app that doesn’t actually scan any files or downloads. Most people cannot tell whether their AV app is or is not protecting them. For the same reason, don’t rely on ratings.The most downloaded AV app has more than 100 million downloads but failed the AV software test. Don’t rely on download and review numbers.Google Play store does have active protection in Play Protect which scans for malware and other issues with uploaded apps but it doesn’t stop all unreliable apps. You should be careful when you are choosing an Android antivirus because there are Fake and bad Android AV apps. Important: GlassWire or myself are not recommending any publishers or their products in this poll.Ĭlick here to see why you should be careful about Android AV products ![]() This is a poll for anti-virus/anti-malware (AV) apps running on Android devices.
