I use AVG as my main protection on my Dell PC. it's rated on AVTest same as Bitdefender. This I used Bitdefender for several years. This free mobile android version is good. But some times I need to reset the protection a couple of times a day. Which it nags me to do it. The Avast free mobile version is easier in this performance issue. In 2006, I had a tracker on my smartphone without my knowing. And some web site protection is comforting and doesn't go amiss. Its warranted.

This app does exactly as it "says on the tin"! Ive used it for over a year now and my mobile device has stayed problem free. I've used security apps in the past that have missed security threats hidden in downloads and no such issues with AVG. It doesnt compromise my device's speed either, which other apps in the past have done, particularly whilst performing file scans, AVG scans quickly and efficiently. All in all a great, easy to use, clear and reliable security app.

This is an update to my previous review: HORRIBLE. It came with the phone, did scans and a couple other minor chores on a regular basis. Ok. But recently it began popping up full screen ads. A nuisance, but I can just click them off. Now it pops up full screen ads with full volume crashing sounds including loud high action music for full action game apps. Talk about a nuisance! Go to disable it, & get a warning that doing so may destabilize phone. Thx AVG. If I have to buy one it won't be yours.
