Only 30% of Android antivirus apps can be trusted
- Wednesday | 20th March, 2019
Only 80 apps detected over 30% of malicious apps, and had zero false alarms. Including these dubious apps, AV-Comparatives found the malware protection of almost 40% of the tested Android AV apps to be inappropriate. This inspired AV-Comparatives to help owners of Android devices to distinguish between genuine, effective Android antivirus apps on the one hand, and dubious/ineffective ones on the other by testing the effectiveness of antimalware programs for Android. Google tries to purge from the Play Store all apps which lack a privacy policy, which helps to get rid of some low-quality apps. The antimalware apps of 32 other vendors have in the last two months been removed from the Play Store.
