Smartphones are enjoying ever-increasing popularity today. The integration of new technologies, previously only found on personal computers, has led to Smartphones becoming real powerhouses.This process has also brought some risks with it.

Considering Klipsh's weighing ones desire of witnessing a mobile AV in action against the risk of actually losing the smart phone, narrowing down the choice of a quality AV for a smart phone or tablet seems a far greater challenge than the ease with which locating superior protections for computer systems has been. I too have chosen Avast! (for Android) after having used and liked it's Windows AV counterpart. The only other AV for Android I've tried has briefly been Norton, though I am preferring Avast!'s manual scans over Norton's frequent auto scans, and would surely be interested in seeing either Avast! or Norton included in a comparative review such as this.
