Is McAfee antivirus is good for Android?

 

[Parsh]

Two tests that provide some insight

1. https://www.av-comparatives.org/tests/android-test-2019-250-apps
2. https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/mobile-devices/android/january-2020/mcafee-mobile-security-5.4-200213

Comparing with the McAfee official app tested above, the McAfee engine built into Samsung's Device Care won't provide real-time scanning (rather has scheduled scans) and privacy check that their official app does, among other things.

If you're looking for an alternative, try Sophos Intercept X. Free and is a fantastic product.

Hi, in the past I have been comfortable with Netguard, it is very intuitive and does not require root to work.

I read from your configuration that you use McAfee but it is the one in Device Care?

hmm, But now I disabled this.

I have left it active, even if its function is only for scanning the Apps, it does not consume memory or battery.

Have you received update of Android 10 because I also have Galaxy A50 but haven't received Android 10 Update yet, still running on Android 9?

You are already using Adguard which has Apps Management.

After lots of discussion 3 AV product is finalize by me. Kaspersky Mobile Security (paid), malwarebytes free(currently using and much sufficient) & sophos (in my case it is draining my phones battery much faster than expected. In future I may considered it if battery draining issue fixed.)

 

[Captain Awesome]

Change: Malwarebytes free(Removed), Bitdefender antivirus free with autopilot (Added)
Reason: Malwarebytes force update
Note: Avast mobile security is a top contender. For free.

Added:NetGuard Firewall (free)
