Free real-time antivirus protection
It's hard to say which is the best antivirus for Android but what we can recommend you to do when it comes to protecting your smartphone or tablet is downloading a solution created by a trustworthy developer. The German company Bitdefender is amongst the latter and offers us different mobile apps to protect us from the dangers on the Internet that we're exposed to whilst browsing.
Free and efficient antivirus protection
The company applies its mobile solutions with a philosophy similar to the one present in Windows antiviruses but bearing in mind the specific features of phones and tablets such as the simultaneous execution of several processes or the consumption of their batteries. That's why they've developed an antivirus and antimalware solution that hardly interferes with the functioning of the operating system and the rest of applications without jeopardizing the battery life.
Without requiring us to configure anything, this application will protect your Android in real time detecting any virus or threat and immediately comparing it to the entries in Bitdefender's database on the cloud.
Security offered by one of the most reliable antiviruses in the world.
Main features
These are the main features that you'll be able to make the most of once you download and install the APK of Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition:

- Lightweight functioning so the user doesn't even notice the presence of the antivirus. It doesn't affect the device's performance or consumption.
