@Tiamati I reinstalled Trend and it seems it is a trial, sorry for the misinformation. They've made it a bit confusing.

However, Dr.Safety provides web blocking and is free. It is an official Trend Micro product and has no ads.

I want to attach screenshots, but the buttons to add images, spoilers and everything else are greyed out on my phone...

Are you sure? I thought it was just a 14 day free trial.

Dr. Safety is free, I just installed it now. It's not even asking for account.

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.

I'm using the virustotal app which can scan apps and url's on demand only. I never felt the need of an antivirus on the phone really.

Kaspersky already gives support to Edge Chromium (Kaspersky Protection add-on + Safe Money)...

How is its impact on the battery?

That's interesting. I thought I was fairly well up on mobile AVs but I'd never heard of it. How does it differ from the paid Dr Web Security Space? I can't find any independent reviews except user reviews in play store.

I am currently using Free Avira on my LG K61 and am very happy with this protection.
And I have been using Avira for a year now.

Not for Android version for web protection , it still support only Google chrome

 

[harlan4096]

Yes, You are right in Android only Chrome...

No impact at all. Also they continue resolving any performance issues in their periodic updates . The application is very stable and has low foot printing

It has nothing to do with Dr.Web It's father is Trend Micro, just pull up trend micro on the play store then enlarge the photos and you will see it in 1 of the photos trend micro posted.

FYI, virustotal uploads everything it scan and make public

I am using BD free but it lacks web protection. Do you think web protection is necessary on Android system or can I continue using the free version?

You'll get many here saying it's not necessary but just as many saying it is. Your choice. I personally prefer having it. Why not try Sophos? It also has impressive customization regarding what categories you want blocked plus lots of great features and no ads.

Bitdefender Free scan so fast like I don't know if it actually scan my entire files on the phone or like a threat scan like Malwarebytes. No where to tell if I am on the latest signatures.

Using secure browser is more important.
For normal Android the best is Bromite.

In combination with Auditor app a infection is very low.
Of course up2date OS is also important
