AV-Comparatives: Mobile Security Review 2019

[harlan4096]

Introduction

In this report, we try to assist readers in evaluating Android’s built-in security measures and the additional and more sophisticated features provided by third-party security apps. In addition to the results of comprehensive malware protection and battery consumption tests, the report includes reviews that evaluate the functionality, app layout and overall usability of each security solution.

A short table at the end of each product report gives an overview of any anti-theft function included in that product. Many of the reviewed and tested apps have non-security related components, such as task manager, network monitor, system optimizers, and data backup tools. However, we mainly focus on the security features (anti-malware, anti-theft, safe browsing, and privacy) in our reviews and only mention further functionality briefly. The structure of each product report is kept identical to allow readers to compare products more easily.
