Android Antivirus Applications Tested
We see who's the best to protect and who fails to detect
AndroidAntivirusReviews.com is a team of independent testers that have experience in developing antivirus applications along with finding and protecting various forms of malware. Some of the people on our team also work for various antivirus distributors.
Our goal is to test the various Android antivirus applications on the market today. While we don't publish all of our results we do however put them through extensive test which cover anything from detection rate and accuracy to memory footprint and more. We don't advocate or promote any specific application, we simply record our results for you to make the final decision.
Check back often as we will continue to update these results and add more information.
