The world’s first antivirus software still offers plenty of bang for the buck, including an enormous array of scanning options and some great bells and whistles in Internet Security.
Immunet doesn’t provide show-stopping antivirus capabilities, but it does offer a basic level of protection that can be expected for the price (nothing). It’s exceptionally lightweight and includes some nice cloud-based malware detection technology.
Sometimes, less is more—and this newcomer to the Windows antivirus market proves it. Intrusta doesn’t have much more than a three-mode virus scanner, but its detection rates appear to be good and it’s a well-packaged tool. The product is backed up by a thirty-day money-back guarantee and their commitment to customer support is outstanding.
APUS’ antivirus app hasn’t been put through independent benchmarking, but this free tool includes some nice privacy-protection and junk-removal features. I would recommend this app as it provides some helpful additions to a primary Android antivirus.
VBA32 provides comprehensive protection for workstation endpoints. The program uses both definition and behavior-based scanning methods to detect and remove threats in real-time and provides a command line environment for advanced administrators. This is a great choice for the enterprise market.
CleanMaster really impressed for its comprehensive junk-removal abilities. Even better, it’s surprisingly light on advertising. Recommended for anyone wanting to keep their Android running lean and fast.
Although it has some redeeming and well-designed remote lockdown features, Lookout’s virus-catching abilities are dubious. The lack of consistent benchmarks doesn’t inspire confidence. Those considering it should stick to the Premium version.
There wasn’t much to love about this Android antivirus solution. The scanning engine appeared to be very basic and didn’t seem to conduct a filesystem check as advertised. In terms of features, it’s underpowered with little more than a keylogger blocker to complement the scanning tool. Best to avoid this one.
