Although the effectiveness of mobile antivirus solutions is often criticized and questioned, when the security of a smartphone is suspected to be compromised, it is reached without much thought. This is one of the best free mobile antivirus tools.
There are many different opinions about whether smartphones need an antivirus solution and how effective they are, but there is no doubt that various attacks on smartphones are quite common these days, so it is worth checking the security of the device with some of the antivirus mobile tools.
Bitdefender Antivirus is one of the best free mobile antiviruses, and although it is essentially an application whose first purpose is to promote a paid and far more powerful edition of a complete security solution, it will certainly come when you want to check if smartphone security is compromised.
Moreover, this mobile antivirus will run neatly in the background and tirelessly check existing and new applications to see if they are potentially harmful and dangerous. There is no need to configure the mobile antivirus itself, and the only thing that is potentially useful to include in the configurations is to scan the local storage, which includes additional memory cards (this can be included during the classic scan).
This app is available on Android Play Store and you can download it here.
The app is extremely easy to use, and after a simple installation where you need to agree to the terms of use, then just click the Scan device button and allow Bitdefender to view all installed apps. If any suspicious application is found, they will notify you properly.
For those who do not want the app to run in the background all the time, it is best to uninstall and use it only when they want to, while those who would like the antivirus to automatically check each app to be installed, must allow Bitdefender Antivirus to run all the time in the background.
