Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus

Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus is the application developed by Avast to protect and optimize the functioning of Android smartphones and tablets.

Avast's Antivirus for Android

Nowadays, the security of smartphones, computers and all types of devices connected to the internet is of vital importance. There are many different ways malware can infect a computer, and no operating system is free from these threats (even Macs can get infected). But now, instead of trying to harm the hardware or software like before, cyber criminals' intent is information theft or blackmail with commercial intentions.

If you are concerned that your Android is affected by this problem and that some virus, trojan or malware may infect your device, you should download an antivirus for your mobile phone or tablet that meets all the basic security requirements.
