The best Android antivirus app you can getīitdefender's Android security app has nearly flawless malware protection, a very light performance impact, Android Wear watch integration, a VPN client and a malicious-website blocker that works with most Android browsers.

The last app, Google Play Protect, is installed on every Android phone that runs Google Play. Yet there's little third-party lab-test data on Lookout's antivirus efficiency, so we don't really know how well it protects against malware.

Lookout Security & Antivirus was one of the first mobile antivirus apps and has a compelling identity-protection option. Its malware protection is very good, but it lacks a Wi-Fi network-security scanner. The free version of Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus has no ads, and its call-blocking and anti-theft features work well.
