In November 2023 we evaluated 19 mobile security products for Android using their default settings. When conducting our tests, we always used the most current version of all products. The products were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on malware detection and usability, including performance and false positives. The products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.
As always, most do fine in this test, but interesting are the results from Google Play Protect, it is getting better (y)
