Using Samsung built in (McAfee) device maintenance tool. Honestly wouldn't need anything. But I run it since its nicely integrated into the OS.

I use Bitdefender but probably don't even need an AV for my phone. I use it as a phone, check emails, text a bit, and sometimes look up obscure facts on the web. No shopping, streaming, banking or social media.

That's how I use my phone too, except I don't even read my emails on it. My thumb is bigger than most of the sentence itself and I hate sideways scrolling.

They even has this 1 Safe Guard-Mobile Security,Antivirus & Cleaner that has an Anti-ransomware feature but i don't know if it really work.

FI, I have FF, Kiwi and Ungoogled Chromium browsers in my phone. Chrome browser is there by default. For testing I

Added Brave, Opera, Chromium, Bromite and MS Edge browsers

Added BitDefender Mobile Security, Sophos Intercept X and Dr. Safety

Zemana Antivirus is my default AV/AM

Below are the browsers they support.

Images from left - BitDefender, 2nd image is Zemana Antivirus, 3rd image is Sophos Intercept X and the last is Dr. Safety. So, Dr Safety not protecting Kiwi, Brave and MS Edge browsers.

The following browsers are NOT supported by the below apps
- Ungoogled Chromium
- Chromium
- Bromite

 

[Terry Ganzi]

Dr.Safety doesn't work like sophos new learning curve so go at it with and open mind and also fiddle with stuff because some setting are not upfront and in your face like changing scan level to high from low and also it requires a lot of permissions and other stuff like something about overlay and also accessibility requirements.
This video language is not in English but visuals are there, hope this helps champ.

Safe Guard-Mobile Security,Antivirus & Cleaner has far more features that most mobile Av's but I'm not sure if all work.

This is what Chrome Web Store shows upon searching. Can you provide a direct link? Thanks

Ty!


I don't use Kaspersky premium anymore cause it lacks support for many browsers, like Edge and Brave

Not only that. It'll not run if you do NOT have Googles services. I tried running in a VM ( VMOS Pro) without Google services and its real-time protection or web filtering is not working. It prompts a message saying it needs Google services to run or something similar

I think it's best to stick to the bigger guys. We are not sure how good are these small guys like how large and good is their virus database or how great is their AI. Big guys are well proven in Windows and other OSes

What does everyone think of Bullguard AV Free for Android? Has anyone used it?

I am using it now, and it seems light with no bloat, and uses virus definitions in the Cloud using little resources or batter drain.
