Description
Avast Mobile Security for Android is a security app that secures mobile devices against unwanted phishing, malware, and spyware, as well as malicious viruses such as trojans. In addition, the embedded Anti<-Theft feature allows you to locate and track your lost or stolen device on a map with our web-based mobile tracking that uses GPS and other triangulation methods.
Avast Mobile Security Vs Desktop Computers
The Scan feature and the Shields included in Avast Mobile Security for Android use different definitions than the ones used in our antivirus software for PCs. The app is customized to run on mobile devices, and so the definitions are specific to malware that attacks mobile platforms. This saves your device from being overloaded by our PC antivirus engine, which includes an enormous amount of malware data that is not relevant to your mobile device.
