Ok, but I am a bit confused hereAntiviruses on the phone relies mostly on signatures/blacklists to detect malware and malicious pages as you mentioned, though some also uses an cloud to detect zero day malware, including Bitdefender, while others employs machine learning/AI to detect malicious behavior.
Another thing is that antiviruses on Android or IOS only checks links when you click/tap them outside the browser, and not when youre already in the browser and navigating to an new site.
Like I mentioned, they almost exclusively use signatures adn blacklists to detect malicious sites, only some employ machine learning or AI to detect them-Ok, but I am a bit confused here.
I was asking if the Antiviruses use a real time scanning engine to scan the web page codes on supported browsers to detect if the web page is malicious.
It does filter based on a blacklist in database I know, but I was wondering if it also scans in real time.
And I wasn't asking about what method it implements for scanning applications and files.
Ok so do you know any antivirus specifically that also deploys signatures for detecting malicious sites?Like I mentioned, they almost exclusively use signatures adn blacklists to detect malicious sites, only some employ machine learning or AI to detect them-
That I dont know, mobile AV's have way too little documentation to say for certain.Ok so do you know any antivirus specifically that also deploys signatures for detecting malicious sites?
Ohk.. Actually the thing is I talked to the Bitdefender live chat support several times and guess what... some say that Bitdefender uses a hybrid model to check against a blacklist and also scan web pages in real time and others say that it only checks against a blacklist.That I dont know, mobile AV's have way too little documentation to say for certain.
Does the web protection feature in Antivirus solutions like Bitdefender, scan web pages for malicious codes that a user visits in real time or just checks against a blacklist in the cloud? Or does it do both?
Which AV would you recommend for Android? Best in term of web protection and then malware apps detection.You meant in general included Windows or AV for mobile OS only?
On Windows: Avast/AVG, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, and other major AV, probably scanning in real-time on websites, detection or analysis only happens in the cloud as already mentioned.
As you said about Bitdefender, you would have to ask AV vendors directly, but that doesn't mean it's always true, rather might be like marketing... Finally, just a matter of trust![]()
I'm an iPhone user and can't say for sure what AV works best on Android, that was the reason I wrote above about Windows only.Which AV would you recommend for Android? Best in term of web protection and then malware apps detection.
