Android has amazing security. In most cases, you don’t need anti-virus or anti-malware app because Android rocks. There are people out there who enjoy having that little extra security for peace of mind and there’s nothing wrong with that. Also, if you disable parts of the stock security –like installing from unknown sources– it’s good to have something there just in case. A great app to fill that void is Bitdefender Antivirus. You can read the review below or watch the video above.
Functionality
So what does this app do? In terms of functionality, this app does a bunch without requiring you to do much of anything. On the user's end, you simply press the on button, close out of the app, and forget about it. Meanwhile, the app will keep an eye on your apps and storage to make sure nothing bad gets in. That's really it folks.
How can I use this?
Like any other anti-malware app, you can use this app to protect your phone from outside threats. You just fire it and forget it. It does the work behind the scenes and leaves you alone until it finds something that you need to see. There is a scanning function to make sure everything is okay, but you really only need to run it once.
What we liked
So here's what we liked:
- The app is dead simple. You open it, run a scan, then close it and forget it. It does the rest.
- It requires little resources and battery so it’s good for older devices.
- Lastly, it’s free and you can’t beat free.
What we didn’t like
Here is what we didn’t like:
- It's best feature is also somewhat of a weakness. If you need a full featured app with things like anti-theft and a privacy checker, you have to go download Bitdefender's full anti-malware app. This is just a simple little app for people who want something running in the background which means all non-essential features have been stripped out.
Final thoughts
All in all, we thought this was a pretty good little app. It doesn't get in the way like full featured apps do and there's no reason why it can't work well on older devices or devices with lower
specs. Even though Android has great built in protection, some people want that little something extra. That's what this app will give you.
