A new research conducted by antivirus test organization AV-TEST reveals the top security apps for Android, which are becoming more or less a must-have given the growing number of threats.

First and foremost, AV-TEST evaluated the protection and usability of 20 different antivirus apps, including Google’s very own Play Protect that’s bundled into the Google Play Store.

Even though Google Play Protect isn’t an antivirus app per se, it was included in the research as the basic security level, so it scored no points in terms of protection. Instead, it received six out of six points for usability.

When it comes to the apps that scored the best in this research, there are several of them. Alibaba Mobile Security, Avast Mobile Security, AVG Antivirus Free, Bitdefender Mobile Security, G Data Internet Security, Kaspersky Lab Internet Security, McAfee Mobile Security, and several others have all received the maximum of six points in both protection and usability tests.

I wish Alibaba would have an English version, having a huge market/userbase aka the Chinese is a huge thing.
yes yes Chinese spy on people and bla bla but if you're not from China, it doesn't matter really.
Android AV tests are boring, it seems malware is predictable and less advanced than on Windows and it's all about signatures.
and if Bitdefender's sigs are enough, every AV is enough :D:D:D
